Daydream Island Attractions

Daydream Island graces the heart of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the grandest coral reef in the world. A mere 5 kilometres off the mainland, Daydream is the closest Whitsunday Island and is perfect for day trippers and Resort guests alike.

Daydream Island Resort and Spa occupies most of the Island. While quite small (1km long x 0.5km wide), this beautiful aquatic paradise is a delight for couples and families to explore and Daydream Island attractions are excitingly abundant.

Daydream Island shows Whitsunday's teeming animal and plant life in all its glory. Imagine hundreds of species of birds, tropical fish, molluscs, sponges, hard corals, endangered dugong, endangered green and loggerhead turtles (November-February), and endangered humpback whales (July-September).

Relax or frolic on the island's white sandy Whitsunday beaches, immerse yourself in the reef's crystal clear tropical water, or discover its beauties from the clear blue skies in a helicopter or seaplane.

Enjoy the natural beauty of the island, and then experience the heavenly rejuvenation at the Daydream Island day spa. The award-winning Rejuvenation Day Spa is Australia's best and offers world class service and facilities.

A Daydream sail and stay holiday combines the best of boating and resort holidaying - spend half your time on a luxury yacht or motor cruiser and the other half at the Resort. Daydream's 'Resort and Sail' holidays feature four nights cruising the glorious Whitsunday Passage and a visit to Whitehaven Beach (arguably the best beach in the world) plus three nights fun and relaxation at the Resort. Perfect!
