    Family Holiday

    I am planning to take my wife and two kids to one of the Whitsundays Islands. Just wondering if any one of you can help me out. Want to know if any of the Islands have and allow fishing (landbased) on the island itself, good snorkling and kids friendly (kids 1 & 3 years old).

    Thanks

    i love Hamilton


    good kids club

    they have resonable boat hire on the island....good boats....Bimini tops...and no licence needed.
    there are land based options...just watch the zones

    although Juicy will probably tell you that South Molle is better for kids

    South Molle island is extremely kid friendly. Don't know about the land based fishing aspect.

    From this site...

    FISHING
    Fishing gear and bait is available from our Watersports (Beachfront) department, who also offer the hire of fishing dinghies if you would like to get to more inaccessible areas. Fishing is usually best around high tide with calm conditions.

    Yeah I would say South Molle Island is the way for kids.

    In looking at the charts here....SM Is is green and yellow zoned, green being the southern end of the island.

    As for Islands policy on land base fishing, I not know, but a phone call to the Island may find you an answer.

    Thank you guys for your suggestion. I am considering SOuth Mole since they have children club for 6 months to 12 years. Apparently we can hire a dinghy as well.

    I have been to south molle, me and the missus went out there for 3 days last year. It was very good, we hired a boat one afternoon for some fishing but didn't really catch too much just a few small parrot fish allthough the fishing guy on the island said they sometimes catch some good coral trout.

    I would defenately go back the food and activities were great and very affordable!
