About the Go-Kart Racing Track

This outdoor go-kart track sits at Palm Valley on Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays, giving holidaymakers a fun, competitive activity beyond the beach in a tropical setting. Single and duo karts reach speeds of up to 45 km/h, and because double karts let kids ride along as passengers, the whole family can join in. Sessions run for 10 minutes and operate on a walk-in basis — no booking required — with all safety equipment included in the hire. It's an easy, genuinely competitive way to spend part of an island day, and a frequent highlight for visiting families.
