JOURNEY DETAILS

Day 1 - Whitsunday Islands, Hamilton Island Beach Club, 1 night

Arrive on Hamilton Island via scheduled flight and transfer to your holiday accomodation. Hamilton is in the heart of the Whitsunday's and lies just on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Over 80 per cent of Hamilton Island has been carefully preserved in its natural state so that visitors can continue to enjoy the pristine beauty of the island's fabulous beaches, unspoilt nature trails and secluded hideaways.

Your overnight accomodation will be at the exclusive five star Hamilton Beach Club. A host is on hand to guarantee personal service and will co-ordinate restaurant bookings, room service, laundry requirements and your transfer to the Hamilton Dock for the Reef Odyssey Cruise.

Day 2  - Whitsunday Islands, Reef Odyssey Cruise, 3 nights

Depart from Hamilton Island in the early afternoon aboard the Reef Odyssey. Your deluxe stateroom has a queen size bed (two twins are also available), large windows, wardrobe and dressing table, air conditioning and en suite facilities.

Afternoon cruise to Whitehaven Beach, where the silica sands are some of the whitest you will ever see. Enjoy a swim or beachcombing before sailing to a sheltered cove for dinner and overnight. Meet your cruise mates over a drink before an a la carte dinner featuring fresh Barrier Reef seafood and other local produce.

Day 3 - Whitsunday Islands, Reef Odyssey

Explore the coral chasms of Hook and Hardy Reefs and overnight at Hardy Reef. Guests have the opportunity to participate in guided island walks, snorkeling tours and reef walks. The Dive Instructor is able to assist divers of all qualification and experience levels. There is lots of time for snorkeling, scuba diving, coral viewing or just relaxing.

Day4- Whitsunday Islands, Reef Odyssey

Visit Blue Pearl Bay on Hayman Island where you can go ashore for a walk or to the beach. Cruise through breathtaking Nara Inlet to see the aboriginal rock art then to Cid Harbor for our overnight anchorage.

Day 5 - Return to Hamilton Island Beach Club, 2 nights

After breakfast on board, hike to the lookout at Cid Harbor then cruise via the Molle group of islands before disembarking at Hamilton Island in the late morning. Transfer to the Beach Club for your 2 night stay.

Day 6 - - Whitsunday Island, Hamilton Island

With a year round average temperature of 27.5C (82F), Hamilton Island is a resort that offers balmy weather and something for everyone!

Spend today combining the absolute luxury of the Beach Club with all the natural beauty and activities Hamilton Island is famous for - sailing, game fishing, snorkeling, water skiing, windsurfing or scuba diving. Play tennis, race go-karts or hit a ball at the golf driving range. Perhaps a guided nature walk is more your pace and from mid July to September whale watching may appeal.

Of course there is plenty of time for just lazing by the Beach Club’s pool, or you may visit one of five other pools on the island. There are 20 boutiques & shops to browse and ten restaurants, numerous bars and idyllic coral fringed beaches to be tried.
