Idyllically located on the Great Barrier Reef, among the exquisite Whitsundays Islands, Hamilton Island is one of Australia´s most outstanding and desirable holiday destinations. The island is best known for its spectacular white-sand beaches and the fantastic coral and marine life which can be seen while snorkelling or scuba diving just offshore. While a small portion of the island has been developed as a tourist destination, most of the land remains untouched and offers scenic landscapes inhabited by an array of Australian animals and birdlife. Must-see attractions include the world-famous Whitehaven Beach, which is the most photographed beach in Australia due to its crystal-clear waters and pristine white sand. Popular activities on offer include golf, swimming, sailing, and watersports, as well as discovering the island’s numerous cultural exhibitions and performances.
