Hayman Island Attractions

World famous for its colourful coral and fish life, the Great Barrier Reef is probably one of the most visited attractions in the Southern Hemisphere. The reasons for this are obvious: the white sandy beaches of the Whitsundays, the deep blue waters of the Coral Sea, the superb weather, the natural beauty and of course, the magnificent island resorts.

Of these, the iconic Hayman Island Whitsunday resort is probably the most exclusive, luxurious and stunning. With the resort being the only man-made structure on the island, it has an untouched natural beauty that can be appreciated in and out of the water.

Snorkellers and divers will marvel at the assortment of tropical fish and colourful coral just off Hayman Island, but for a truly memorable experience, the outer reaches of the Great Barrier Reef are ideal for the ultimate undersea adventure. You can also observe all the magnificent sea creatures without getting your hair wet by taking a glass bottom boat, or whale watching tour.

Walkers will love hiking through the lush tropical rainforests and strolling along the white sandy beaches. Along the way you will see some amazing birds, animals and plants that have all made Hayman their home.

Or, for a bird's eye view, take an awe-inspiring helicopter or seaplane ride to fully appreciate the magnificence of the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsundays from the air.

Another must see is Whitehaven Beach, arguably the most beautiful beach in the world. Its crystal clear water and fine silica sand make it truly a magnificent place for a day trip to swim, relax and soak up some sunshine.
