Things to do on Hamilton Island

There’s plenty to do while you are here on holiday, including tours to the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding Whitsunday Islands, fishing tours and water sports, scenic flights, walking trails and a range of family-friendly, adventure based activities.

Plan ahead

As our guest numbers increase, we are seeing high demand for restaurants, spas, buggies and tours yet we are still required to comply with Queensland Health customer density and physical distancing rules. This means we have limited availability on some of our tours and activities. We recommend doing a little planning now and pre-booking some of your experiences ahead of your stay.

Due to the increased number of guests visiting Hamilton Island and wanting to book tours and activities, we are experiencing a high number of calls right now. If your booking request is for a date that is more than two months from now, please email us on tourbookings@hamiltonisland.com.au – and we will respond to you within five (5) working days.
