A TV journalist from The Sunday Project has claimed he and the crew were kicked off Hamilton Island after being told they were not welcome.

The Sunday Project crew were escorted from Hamilton Island.

Hamish Mcdonald tweeted on Friday that they were filming a story about sharks in the Whitsundays throughout the week.

"Tour operators are breaking ranks to tell us they're being 'silenced' by the tourism body," he wrote.

"And INCREDIBLY, our crew was escorted off Hamilton Island after being told we're not welcome there."
