Official WILD LIFE Hamilton Island Website
The all-Aussie wildlife adventure!
Centrally located on the resort side of the island, WILD LIFE Hamilton Island (formerly Hamilton Island Wildlife Park), provides the perfect place for you to get up close and personal with some unique Australian wildlife.
There are a range of furry marsupials that call the wildlife park home, and for those that like creepy-crawlies, meet the park's snakes and lizards. Take a guided tour of our unique Australian sanctuary and be introduced to the local koalas, kangaroos, birds and even the resident crocodile. Your guide will educate you on our wildlife while also being there to help you feed, talk and touch our Aussie animals.
When you are finished exploring the park enjoy breakfast or lunch at our cafe, followed by cuddling a koala, where you can also take home a souvenir photograph as a memory of your time getting back to nature on Hamilton Island.
