Hamilton Island and the Great Barrier Reef

June 26th 2006 08:22
Great Barrier Reef
Hamilton Island is in the Whitsundays, which is between the Great Barrier Reef and the Queensland coast. It is one of only seven islands in the region with resort facilities and is probably the most developed.

With daily flights to island from a number of the capital cities, Hamilton Island is a popular jumping off point to explore the Great Barrier Reef by chartered boat or merely as a destination to relax in fantastic surrounds and bask in the warm northern Australia sun. The waters are pristine and the sand white, so you’ll find yourself wanting to just relax and take it easy. With so many activities on offer though, you’d be wasting your trip by just relaxing on the beach.

You’ll want to at least take a tour to the barrier reef, of which there are numerous. You may also want to try your hand at snorkelling or diving to really get a good view of the coral reef and unique marine life. On land, you can go golfing or go-karting, but then you’ll want to get back into the water sports and there is fishing charters and sailing at hand.

At the end of the night, if you aren’t entirely worn out, there is an array of dining options and bars to hold your interest until you hit the sack. The resort is family friendly, meaning you don’t have to be entertaining the kids.

Of course all these resort type islands all over the world offer a huge variety of activities, but what it comes down to with Hamilton Island is the location and you don’t get any better locations than a stones throw from the Great Barrier Reef.
