Located mid-way down the Queensland Coast, Daydream is situated in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, five kilometres off the main land. Sitting 150km north of Mackay and 300km south of Townsville, this slice of paradise is considered the most accessible of all the 74 Whitsunday Islands with regular tours to the neighboring islands. Just one kilometre long and half a kilometre wide, Daydream is a visual delight fringed by stunning beaches and luscious island vegetation.

On land, be sure to look out for Australian wildlife such as lizards, wallabies and birds found in the island’s magnificent rainforests.

Turtle and reef shark sightings are also common around the islands.     

Known for its balmy summers and warm winters, Daydream is the ideal setting to enjoy a game of mini-golf or relax at the outdoor theatre. Adults and children alike will love the variety of activities to take you from soil to sea, including everything from fishing and diving to whale-watching and parasailing.
