The Great Barrier Reef, which is arguably one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders of the world, and Whitehaven Beach, which is well known as one of the finest beaches in the world, are both easily accessed from Hamilton Island. There are numerous, daily tours to and from these spectacular sites, thereby providing tourists on holiday with the best that Hamilton Island has to offer.
