How can I get to Long Island and get around on a budget?
Scoping out the transportation options in Long Island is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The nearest airport is Hamilton Island, QLD (HTI-Great Barrier Reef), 6 mi (9.6 km) away. However, if that doesn’t suit your budget, the next closest is 21.7 mi (34.9 km) away: Proserpine, QLD (PPP-Whitsunday Coast). Long Island might not have many public transport choices so a rental car could be an economical alternative to see more of the area.
