Many of our charterers enjoy a mid charter stopover at Hamilton Island, overnight marina bookings are available and there are many activities to choose from suitable for all ages, and certainly an abundance of restaurants, bars and resorts. If you are flying in or out of Hamilton Island Airport, you can also begin and/or finish your charter here, the cost is $450 each way. Affectionately known as ‘Hammo’ the island is also home to the striking Hamilton Island Yacht Club, designed to reflect the silhouettes of full sails and celebrate the Whitsundays marine lifestyle. Only a third of the island is developed, and there are more than a dozen walking trails to explore the hidden coves, amazing island views or a picnic at one of the various spots scattered through the bushland. You will also find an array of Australian wildlife – including wallabies, goannas, sea eagles, kites, ospreys, sulphur-crested cockatoos and kookaburras. If you’re hoping to get close to some iconic Australian wildlife, WILD LIFE Hamilton Island is one of only a few places in the world where you can experience cuddling a koala.

Daydream Island has re-opened following a $100 million redevelopment.  The new 4.5 star resort has become a tropical haven for romantics, families and groups. The Living Reef, previously well known as a unique resort feature, has also  returned to the island giving visitors the opportunity to further develop their education and focus on eco-friendly practices. Guests will be able to join the island’s team of marine biologists and feed baby stingrays who live among over 100 species of marine fish, coral and invertebrates such as starfish, sea cucumbers and crabs.
