Where Luxury Meets The Reef.

Private beaches, reef-fringed waters and polished resort life define Hayman Island, the northernmost island resort in The Whitsundays. Stay at InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef, then explore by private charter, scenic flight, walking trail or long lunch by the water.

Traveller Tips

Book resort transfers, dining and private experiences before you travel, especially in school holidays and peak winter months. Use the Hamilton Island to Hayman Island and Coral Sea Marina to Hayman Island product pages for current arrival guidance, then confirm times directly with the resort.

Hayman Island suits travellers who want a resort-based stay with reef access, dining, spa time and quiet beaches rather than a day-trip itinerary.

Private Experiences

Hayman Island guests can book private charters to some of The Whitsundays' most popular destinations. Wildcat, one of the fastest adventure catamarans in the region, offers full-day trips to Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, or to outer reef snorkelling sites, accommodating up to 40 guests. ReefQuest (SeaLink) provides a spacious two-deck catamaran for groups of up to 120, ideal for shared celebrations with fringing reef snorkelling. Impulsive is a 40-metre luxury yacht with five cabins, hosting up to 10 overnight or 80 for day charters, complete with a Jacuzzi, full-service bar, and water toys.

Helicopter tours fly direct from the resort to Reefworld, the Cruise Whitsundays pontoon at Hardy Reef, for three hours of snorkelling or underwater observatory viewing. The scenic flight passes Bait, Hook, and Hardy Reefs, plus Heart Reef, before landing on the outer reef. The Whitsundays from above is a perspective that changes everything.
