What is the best place for a family vacation in Hamilton Island?
If you are on holiday with the whole family, you will be looking for things to do on Hamilton Island with the kids. If your kids enjoy the outdoors and water sports, then you have picked the right destination. One of the most popular water activities for kids is water tubing. Hop on an inflatable water tube and get towed behind a speedboat while attempting to hang while the drivers do their best to get screaming and laughing out of you. Take the kids to the Hamilton Beach Go-Karting track if you need a break from the ocean but not from adrenaline. Older kids can drive a cart alone, and the younger kids can ride with a partner as they race around the track to victory. Most of the activities designed for family fun are around the bustling marina. Family-orientated hotels located at the marina include the Whitsunday Apartments and the Palm Bungalows.
