For this reason, everything tends to book out in advance including boat tours, accommodation and marina berths. Those who wish to come during this week must plan ahead in order to secure a spot. If you wait too late, you may miss out!
There is a surplus of options to enjoy this festive week on Hamilton Island, and you may opt to visit for the day, or book to stay overnight at one of many accommodation options, including the Reef View Hotel, Palm Bungalows, Beach Club, Yacht Club Villas, and more!
