Hi Tim - the full day tour with the walk up to Hill Inlet will almost certainly be way too much for your wife - in Nv it was very warm so think December even more so If your budget stretched to it Id be tempted to seek out one of the helicopter trips On the half day visit to Whitehaven you can do pretty much no walking at all so that would be best Have a great trip

If you are travelling to hamilton they will check your bags in at the port and store them somewhere onboard then when you get off at hamilton they will bring them off the boat and you collect them at end of the jetty.

Sorry can’t answer this

The snorkel is in the group and it is very easy, you won't need many skills. It is done small coral reef few meters of the beach. If you are not confident you can get sousage floats that will keep you above water and there is crew with small boat looking over the snorklers. And if snorkeling is not for you they will take you on small boat with glass bottom and you can enjoy tha fish without getting wet.

I believe you can because the boat sailing to the pontoon stopped at the Hamilton Island. You can check with your hotel or any tour organiser which there are plenty of in Airly Beach.

I’m not sure but you can get cheaper deals if you ring them. I think it was quite expensive around $60 mark for your average traveler, you are best to ring them

No it isn’t as Daydream is closed as is Hayman following cyclone Debbie in March 2017. Hamo and Long are open but CW doesn’t service Long hence no island hopper ticket on sale.
