 Sign Detailing Bus Route, One
Tree Hill Stop by Mikebb, 1 more photos
We used the service regularly, particularly in the evening to return to our accommodation after dining at the marina, it saved us having to walk up the huge hill. For those who do not want the expense of hiring a buggy this bus service is ideal. Leave a Comment

A great way to see the Whitsunday Islands is on a cruise, you have the opportunity to spend a day on some of the islands as well as cruising past many of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays group. Whilst we were on Hamilton Island we saw a very large cruise boat anchored offshore for several days. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

We went with the Reefworld people and they were fantastic, they sold tablets on the boat (unfortunately they don't work for everyone). We went a few days after the Tsunami and obviously the waters were rather choppy, many people on our boat were ill (about 20). The staff ran around providing sick bags and cold cloths for peoples heads, they were great but if you can avoid it, take the tablets.
If you are like me and the tablets don't work all i can say is that the Barrier reef is so beautiful that despite how sick i was, i would still do it again. Leave a Comment

There are 2 ways to get to Hamilton Island. You can fly direct into Hamilton Island, or come in via ferry from the mainland - that is from either Shute Harbour or Able Point Marina at Airlie Beach - see my Airlie Beach page for info on transfers from Shute Harbour.
We have done both... and either way is great!! :o)
It is a good idea to split your Whitsunday trip into staying partly on Hamilton Island and partly at Airlie Beach on the mainland. That way, you get the best of both worlds and experience an amazing adventure with so much to see & do!!
Jetstar have a regular service direct to Hamilton Island from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and quite often have great deals. Check out their site below. Leave a Comment

 A lone buggy... a rare sight! by lachydragon
You can hire then at the resort complex and there seems to be plenty of space to leave them. While the would be good if you were planning to do lots of activiteis like golf driving, target shooting or the wire-flyer which are on the opposite end of the resprt from the accommodation, I think they would be a bit redundant for just getting between you room and the beach or pool.

 Me in my buggy! by digivixen
You require an international or Australian licence to drive a buggy.
Walking to the Marina (where most of the shops and nightlife is located) only takes a few minutes and all of the pools and bars are a short walk away.
Do yourself a favour and only hire a buggy for a half day or two - that way you can see a bit of the outer island, such as the golf course and the lookout but don't get conned into thinking you need it each and every day to get around! Leave a Comment
