DISCOVER THE GREAT BARRIER REEF
A Hamilton Island holiday is the best place from which to discover the incredible natural formation that is the Great Barrier Reef. Fantasea Cruises operates daily full-day trips to the largest permanent floating platform Reefworld where you can snorkel, scuba dive, take in the sights from the underwater viewing chamber or ride the semi-submersible submarine and skim over the reef surface. Alternativly, H2O Sportz operate half-day snorkel safari adventures where you'll discover the under water gardens bordering some of the neighbouring Whitsunday Islands. If travelling by water is not your cup of tea, Hamilton Island Aviation operates scenic flights to the reef daily so you can have a bird's eye view of this incredible natural wonder.
