1h luxury boat launch from Hamilton Island (HTI)
Fly to Hamilton Island, where resort staff receive you and board you onto a custom luxury catamaran. The cruise to Hayman Island serves drinks and acts as a scenic sea safari.
Blue Pearl Bay Snorkeling
Walk or kayak to Blue Pearl Bay on the northwest side of the island. It offers some of the best fringing reef coral and fish populations in the Whitsundays.
Resort Scale
With over 160 rooms, the resort operates on a larger scale than boutique island retreats, meaning the pools and breakfast decks can feel active during school holidays.
