Hamilton Island Walking & Golf Buggy Tour
Explore Hamilton Island — the Whitsundays' most developed island resort — on foot and by golf buggy, from the Great Barrier Reef lookout on One Tree Hill to the marina village and Resort Beach.
- 1
Hamilton Island Marina
Hamilton Island Marina is the commercial hub of the Whitsundays' only resort island with its own airport — the marina village has restaurants, a chandlery, and the island's fleet of rental golf buggies.
- 2
One Tree Hill Lookout
One Tree Hill lookout provides the best panoramic view of the Whitsunday islands — from the hilltop, the entire island group is spread before you, with Whitehaven Beach visible on Whitsunday Island to the north.
- 3
Resort Beach
Hamilton Island's Resort Beach is a man-made beach on the western side of the island — the calm, sheltered water is ideal for swimming, and the beach bar and water sports facilities make it the island's social centre.
- 4
Catseye Beach Walk
Catseye Beach on the eastern side faces the prevailing winds and has a more natural character — the beach is bordered by the island's coral reef fringe, and snorkelling directly from the sand is excellent.
- 5
Island Wildlife Sanctuary
Hamilton Island maintains a wildlife sanctuary with native animals — rock wallabies are common and remarkably tame, approaching visitors for food in the early morning and evening near the resort complex.

Qualia Resort Viewpoint
Qualia, Hamilton Island's ultra-luxury resort, occupies the northern tip of the island — the resort's position among native bush with pavilions overlooking the passage represents the pinnacle of Whitsunday island luxury.
