| Description |
Need to get your land legs, have a 'real' shower and stock up on supplies? Maybe you'd like a restaurant meal or need to dance the night away? Pay your mooring fee and you can share in the Hamilton Island experience. Hire a buggy and explore. Stay an extra day and join a tour to the outer reef. Hamilton Island has it all. Fly into Hamilton Island and you can even start or finish your charter there.
The "marina side" of the island otherwise has a general store, chemist, bakery, "Marina Tavern", a wide selection of restaurants and famous "Trader Pete's". Whether you fancy a wood fired pizza or well cooked steak, there is an eating option for most. Be mindful, that while Hamilton Island desire a high standard from their eateries, quality can vary through the turnover of staff.
Trader Pete's is of interest, as they appear to have every souvenir imaginable. While a Hamilton Island "snow cone" has not been spotted by the writter, it is easy to imagine that one is available here. |
