To get from Hamilton Island to the main land there are two water taxi services Cruises Whitsundays costs about $45 and the other Fantasea is about $70.

Cruise Whitsundays have a ferry service which meets every flight to and from the Island, and drops off at Able Point Marina. I feel they are the easier of the two options as Fantasea drops you off at Shute Harbour and then it?s a bus or taxi ride into Airlie Beach again.
