daydream island
Daydream Island is just 1 kilometer long and half a kilometer wide. It is the closest Island to Shute Harbour; it is just 5 kilometers away from the mainland. Daydream Island is a very popular destination for day visitors, but its recently refurbished resort has almost 300 rooms that can also cater for families (a childcare program is offered to guests), weddings or conferences.
The resort boasts a splendid Rejuvenation Day Spa and a unique man-made Outdoor Aquarium. This Aquarium is a network of reef lagoons containing over 40 marine fish species (including the bright and engaging Clown Fish) and 50 coral varieties. Daydream Island also ahas a superb mini-golf course and an outdoor movie cinema as well as a wide selection of dining facilities which range from Cafes to a premier restaurant. Daydream Island has small but beautiful beaches; one of the beaches is fringed by outcrops of live coral and colorful fish. There are also some short bush walks through thick vegetation, spectacular parrots and tiny sun birds can sometimes be seen amongst the treetops.
Daydream Island has all the usual water activities which are available on the other islands; this includes snorkeling, sailboarding, sea kayaking, parasailing, jet-skiing and reef fishing. There is a choice of volleyball, croquet, badminton and tennis for the land lovers. Daydream Island is a very popular island because it is so accessible (Ferry from Hamilton Island Airport, or coach to Shute Harbour from Proserpine Airport, then ferry; alternatively Helijet or Seaplane from Hamilton Island or the mainland). It has so much to offer in such a small space. Daydream is the place to be.
