Hamilton Island Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Hamilton Island showing night scenes and general coastal views
Coming in at number one out of the Whitsundays’ 74 islands is Hamilton Island. The biggest and the best – Hamilton Island doesn’t make it a hard choice.

Unsurprisingly, plenty of native critters have made the island their home, too. Meet and greet koalas and kangaroos on wildlife-watching tours or hike through the rainforest to a hilltop peak and count neighbouring islands in the distance. Beaches plucked straight from a postcard and pristine coral cays provide the backdrop for snorkelling, yachting and kayaking adventures.

"A spacious and clean private villa with a huge bathroom and closet. Could have used another place to sit in the room since the "couch" was more like a deep daybed without a mattress. We loved everything and this would have been a 5-star review but we arranged for transport for us and our luggage ..."

Beautiful view, services not what you expect
"Beautiful views from the balcony! The place is a great concept, wish it were a little cleaner, we had to wear our shoes inside or we would have black feet in minutes from the dirty floor. And there was hair in the tub drain. It was nice to have laundry in room. The balcony door needs two people to ..."

A lovely private island with a bustling marina complex. Lots of restaurants but need to book early - ideally before you go. We struggled to get reservations so are in the hotel most nights. There is a Hamilton Island app that I recommend downloading

A relaxing, car-free, dog-free holiday place, beautifully maintained with lush vegetation. Birds and some marsupials to spot, and you can wade or snorkel in the sea at Catseye Beach, while the fish swim around you.
