About ATV Tours
ATV Tours on Hamilton Island runs guided quad bike adventures through the less-visited hilly interior of the island, giving visitors access to fire trails, lookouts and landscapes that most beachgoers never see. Tours take in the Resort Lookout for 360-degree views over the Whitsundays, led by knowledgeable guides who bring the trip to life with local history, wildlife knowledge and the occasional taste of the island's native green ants. Drivers handle modern Polaris RZR570 AWD machines, with two- and four-seat vehicles so passengers can ride along too. Consistently described as one of the best activities on the island, it pairs genuine off-road fun with spectacular scenery — and bookings are essential, so reserve before you arrive.
