Is there Crocs on Hamilton Island?
Are there crocodiles on Hamilton Island? Saltwater crocodile sightings in Airlie Beach and the surrounding Whitsunday Islands are extremely rare, as they prefer murky, brackish water to hunt in rather than the crystal-clear waters surrounding the islands. To see a crocodile, visit the Hamilton Island Wildlife Park.
