Hamilton Island Daily Activity GuideBeach & Watersports on Hamilton Island

With the Whitsundays just outside your front door, having fun and games in and on the water is what Hamilton Island is all about.

Imagine snorkelling through the magical underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, paddling past uninhabited islands in a sea kayak, or casting off for marlin on a game-fishing charter.
