The bountiful wildlife of the Whitsundays is often unique. Hamilton is a home of the smaller relative of kangaroo called Wallaby also referred to as goannas. Large, lumbering lizard-like reptiles, fascinating sea eagles, kites and ospreys and the sulphur-crested cockatoos and cackling kookaburras thrive in the lively island forests. Wild Life Hamilton Island that is located near the Resort Centre provides an exceptional opportunity to get intimate with some fascinating Australian wildlife. The thrill and excitement of cuddling the cute resident koalas and getting clicked would be the best ever photo shoot of your life, a souvenir to carry back home and memory to cherish forever.
A unique opportunity to be at one with nature and the unique Australian wildlife
The furry range of marsupials is greeted with equal enthusiasm as the creepy-crawlies that include a wide range of snakes and lizards. The guided tours through the Australian sanctuary will bring you face to face with the adorable local koalas, powerful and unique kangaroos, colourful birds and the fearful resident crocodiles. These guided tours are designed in a way that the guide explains and educate the guests on the behaviour and traits of the animals and also might provide you an opportunity to feed, talk and touch our Aussie wildlife.
Whitsunday Crocodile Safari
For wildlife enthusiasts, the Whitsunday Crocodile Safari is another major attraction. This safari comprises an exciting day trip into the salty waters to meet the crocodiles inhabiting the salt waters. It is a full day tour and showcases the raw and adventurous side of the “wild Whitsundays”. The calm-water river cruise along the Proserpine River offers sighting of wild crocodiles and a variety of other wildlife creatures. The open-air wagon tour through wetlands and Queensland mudcrab capture and display are the chief attractions of the safari.
The wetlands that stretch inland from the coast to the Proserpine River are the home to the estuarine crocodile. You can also spot a variety of native bird species, mammals, reptiles and sea creatures. But the biggest thrill would still be viewing the crocodiles in the wild.
Whale spotting
Whitsundays provide you the exceptional thrill of your unique chance to spot a humpback whale when every year between June and October a huge population of approximately 1200 humpback whales cruise past the legendary Hamilton Island as they migrate north.
You can have the most stunning experience of your lifetime if you are lucky enough to sight the mythical Migaloo. Migaloo is the only known albino humpback whale and he loves the Whitsunday waters and returns every year to mate from the Antarctic polar waters.
