The best way to get around and make the most of your time on Hamilton Island, is by hiring a golf buggy and self driving to ensure you see all the sights while on the island. There is a free shuttle bus that you can use to hop on and hop off at particular sight seeing spots around the island. the shuttle bus passes each stop every 15 minutes and is great for those on a budget.

Make sure you are back at the Hamilton Island Marina in time for your trip to Whitehaven Beach. If you are late, you will be left behind. The buffet luncheon onboard the Fantasea vessel, after leaving Hamilton Island, is sumptuous, so don't eat too much while enjoying the amenities on Hamilton Island and leave room for some great sausages, chicken kebabs, steak and salad.

Crystal clear water and amazing white silica sand make a spectacular impression when first landing at Whitehaven Beach. Walk the 7 kilometer length of the beach and listen to the silica sand squeak beneath your feet. Use the supplied beach facilities, go snorkeling, take a hike and enjoy exploring the island or just soak up the sun, Whitehaven Beach is indeed a special place in paradise.
