Whitsunday Islands
Hamilton Island is an unparalleled paradise and is the island's best lodging option for travelers, adults, families and budgets. Since the island is surrounded by the sea, it is no wonder that most of the island's activities are water related. Popular multi-day boat trips, Great Barrier Reef excursions and whale watching. But even if you're not interested in water sports, there's plenty to do on the Whitsunday Islands, like hiking and golfing.
The tropical island of Whitsunday is characterized by year-round beach weather. In summer, it is a few degrees warmer, but much more humid. It is more likely to rain. Summer clothing is required all year round, but in winter (June-August) you may need a cardigan or light jacket for the evenings.
