About Hamilton Island 

Getting Here

Hamilton Island is situated in the middle of Queensland’s Whitsunday Islands and at the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Here you’ll experience everything that is great about Australia – beautiful natural surrounds, calm waters, warm weather, fascinating coral reefs and diverse flora and fauna.

When you arrive, you’ll discover that the utmost care has been taken to preserve Hamilton Island in its natural state. In fact, over 70% of the island has been preserved so that visitors can continue to enjoy the unspoilt nature trails and secluded cove hideaways on the many bushwalks around the island.
