Heart Island Reef Experience

Exclusive to clients staying on Hamilton Island, this three-hour expedition to the enchanting Heart Reef is a bucket-list experience for lovers of the great outdoors. Begin your adventure with an exhilarating helicopter flight over picture-perfect Whitehaven Beach, with its white sands and vibrant blue waters. From here, have your camera at the ready as you soar over Hill Inlet; the swirling patterns of blue and green make for amazing holiday snaps. As you draw closer to Heart Reef, you’ll be able to make out its distinctive heart shape and capture the perfect photograph.

Next, your helicopter will set down on the exclusive Heart Island pontoon – just 300 metres from the Heart Reef – allowing you to explore this tropical lagoon as you wish. Relax in style as you enjoy 90 minutes of complete privacy in this paradise. Enjoy a glass-bottomed boat tour around the reef, keeping an eye out for the colourful marine wildlife that calls this place home. Later, snorkel and swim in the crystal waters, or simply unwind in the five-star pontoon. As you fly back to Hamilton Island, you’ll have a second opportunity to admire the beauty of this idyllic coastline from up high.
