Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Boat trip (or helicopter) to Whitsunday National Park is a must to see the whitest sand on earth.

to & from
Virgin Australia from Sydney to Hamilton Island (2 hr flight). There are no cars on Hamilton Island, only golf carts. Most villas come with their own carts. We left half of our things in Sydney because there is a weight limit on the island flights.
Where to Stay
- We rented a villa which is preferable than staying at one of the hotels. Ours was in the “Edge” building and we loved it. The Yacht Club Villas are also nice.
