What to know
Hamilton Island is a resort island rather than a gated attraction, so there is no admission price to find and no ticket to buy. What a visitor actually pays is the crossing. Cruise Whitsundays, the only ferry operator, charges A$74.50 per adult and A$63 per child each way between the island and Port of Airlie or Shute Harbour, so a return day trip costs about A$149 per adult, with a card surcharge of roughly 1.42 per cent on top. Coming from Whitsunday Coast Airport at Proserpine costs A$94.50 per adult including the coach link, and the island has its own airport for direct flights. Getting about once ashore is a further cost, as the golf buggies most visitors use start at A$140 per 24 hours and drivers must be at least 21.

When to go
The planner warns of wet in January, February, March. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
