Day by Day
A detailed day-by-day plan for this 6-day journey.
Fly into Hamilton Island and be transferred to your luxury resort on the island's secluded northern tip. Settle into your pavilion and private pool, then a welcome dinner as the Coral Sea turns gold.
A day of pure indulgence aboard a private yacht, cruising to Whitehaven Beach and its seven kilometres of pure silica sand, and up to the swirling Hill Inlet lookout, with snorkelling and a gourmet lunch on the water.
Soar over the Whitsundays by helicopter to see the famous Heart Reef from above, then descend to the outer Great Barrier Reef to snorkel vivid coral gardens, with lunch amid the islands.
A restorative day — a signature spa treatment for two, a secluded beach picnic or simply your private pool and the view. The island's beauty unfolds at its own gentle pace.
Explore hidden coves and lookouts, perhaps a stand-up paddle or a catamaran sail, before a farewell seafood dinner at sunset overlooking the Coral Sea.
A final gourmet breakfast before your transfer to Hamilton Island Airport.

Know when to go.
- Visa: Most visitors need an ETA or eVisitor visa arranged online before travelling, with a passport valid at least six months. We can point you to the right one
