If you're looking for Hamilton Island accommodation with a buggy, you'll find one included with most HIHA stays.*
Whether you're heading to Catseye Beach, Marina Village, One Tree Hill or simply picking up groceries, having your own buggy gives you the freedom to experience Hamilton Island exactly how you want.

Discover Hamilton Island on Foot
Although having a buggy is incredibly convenient, many of Hamilton Island's most popular attractions are surprisingly close together.
The Marina Village, Catseye Beach, Resort Centre, restaurants, cafés and walking trails can all be explored on foot, making it easy to spend the day wandering at your own pace. The stroll between Catseye Beach and Marina Village takes around 10 minutes and is one of the island's most popular walks.
Walking is also one of the best ways to discover hidden lookouts, tropical gardens and the relaxed atmosphere that makes Hamilton Island so special.
