Daydream Island Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Daydream Island showing a luxury hotel or resort, swimming and a pool
Take off your watch because time runs differently on Daydream Island.

Sublime coral reefs are moments away, but the clock seems to stand still when the sun sinks into the ocean horizon. Life is like a dream spend your days discovering secret beaches and rocky coves. Explore the island’s tree-speckled hilltop and gaze out across the Whitsundays’ island panorama. With yachting adventures, snorkelling tours and deluxe spa treatments at your fingertips, Daydream Island is a reverie you won’t want to leave.

Beautiful island and resort, food and dinning options was a big let down. Need to publish the menus, get an island app going, have all restaurants open at the same time and change buffet dinner food options/menu and price as has no value.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

It was lovely to be able to go kayaking and stand up paddle boarding free as part of the package. We also loved the reef and watching the sting rays every day.

3/5 - Okay

Small quiet areas for people over 50 years old and staying max 5 days
