Hamilton Island is a great place and a great stop over if going onto Hayman Island. We were worried if our flight was delayed in any way we would miss our boat transfer to Hayman Island so we came in a day earlier. It was a very nice overnight stay allowing us to explore Hamilton Island.

Apart from the overpriced accommodation we found it to be a relaxed atmosphere. We love golf so was able to fit in two games on Dent Island. The views really are breath-taking from the course. Golf club restaurant probably the best in both food (although a bit limited in variety) and to take in the amazing views across the azure water. Cocochu restaurant offers a fresh and varied menu. Make sure you book in advance as very popular. There is some coral located just out from cats eye beach so pack your snorkel and mask to see a variety of tropical fish, rays, reef sharks and likely to come across a sea turtle munching on the sea grass at the bottom. One tree hill to take in the surrounding views

The island has lots an options for dining and the tour operators are very professional. The prices can seem high but the quality of the offering is very good and of an international standard. Look for the deals and you can get some activities for free. The island shuttle buses are very handy for getting around.

It is a quite island, perfect for relaxing and taking it easy. Whilst relaxing there were also plenty of things to do e.g. there are some excellent hikes/bush walks to do across the island, half of full day trips to Whitehaven beach and regular ferries to Airlie Beach; lots of water sports as well.

Our first time at Hamilton Island with our sons aged 15 and 10. So much to do for families, every day was a new adventure. Highlights were the jetsking safari, navigating the island with a golf cart, beautiful warm weather and quad bike tours. Booked the half day to Whitehaven beach and didn’t enjoy at all. $470 for a family to be stuck on a beach with zero shade in the sun. Wasn’t brave enough to rush being stung by the jellyfish, even with the stinger suits on. Therefore, nothing to do but cook on the sand. Very overrated Beach. Other than that, great family holiday.

View was Amazing. Lovely customer service. Bathroom Room & noise was the most disappointing. The only two reasons of not really wanting to go back. Also Disappointing no free water available and to pay for late check out and how expensive the breakfast.
