Its maximum summer temperatures (December, January and February) are around 30 degrees celsius, with maximum winter temperatures (June, July and August) around 23 degrees.

Perfectly situated in The Great Barrier Reef, amongst the 74 Whitsunday Islands, Hamilton Island offers an experience like no other: glorious weather, azure waters, brilliant beaches, awe-inspiring coral reefs, fascinating flora and fauna, fine food and wines, and activities almost too numerous to mention.

As the ultimate Great Barrier Reef holiday destination, Hamilton Island is the perfect gateway to explore the unique tropical environment of the Whitsunday's like Whitehaven Beach or the beautiful Heart Reef (which just has to be seen from the air). You can snorkel, scuba dive or swim off the reef and witness one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders and its abundant array of ocean life.

Hamilton Island offers the promise of a tropical getaway where you'll be spoiled for choice with plenty of opportunities to try something new. With over 40 different activities to choose from you can experience sea-kayaking, game fishing, day trips to Whitehaven Beach and the Great Barrier Reef, scenic helicopter flights, or even have breakfast with the Koalas at the Koala Gallery.

Hamilton Island is the only island in the Whitsundays that has an airport big enough to cater for larger commercial aircraft. Hamilton Island is also catered by several ferry services, which can only carry passengers. Mainland motor vehicles are prohibited on the island, where transport needs are mostly served by hundreds of golf buggies.

Visitors can catch glimpses of migrating whales as they make their way through the warm waters of the Whitsundays around July - September each year.

Whether you're looking for plenty to do or nothing to do, Hamilton Island is perfect for both.
