From low-key bungalows to luxury 5-star resorts
Right at the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, Hamilton Island is a great base for exploring what lies beneath the high seas. The reef-enclosed island offers spectacular snorkelling above vibrant coral, as well as the opportunity to hand-feed some of the local fish. If you feel like going further afield, snorkel and dive tours are in abundance on the island, giving you the chance to head to the outer reef in search of Nemo and all his friends. Chartered fishing trips are also available, as is every watersport from sailing to skiing.
