Relax on idyllic beaches
Experience the picturesque Daydream Island beaches for yourself. Sunbathe on a lounger for the day as palm trees rustle in the salty breeze and let the rest of the world melt away. If you’re an active relaxer, make a splash with a range of water sports to partake in. After all, the Great Barrier Reef is the best place to explore the underwater world! Amp up the energy with a kayak over crystal-clear waters, relish panoramic views when you parasail over the islands, go fishing, stand up paddle boarding, sailing and even scuba diving! For the best snorkelling, head to Lover’s Cove, home to kaleidoscopic coral and unique species of marine life — adventures the whole family will be buzzing about.
Land activities
Stay entertained with plenty to do on land when you visit Daydream Island Resort & Living Reef. Play giant chess, get competitive with beach volleyball, tennis, bocce, coconut bowls and a game room. Your junior explorers will love the Kids Club, offering interactive games, arts and crafts and fun educational games!
Cockatoo Club
Your little adventurers will love making new friends at Cockatoo Club in a safe and fun environment. They’ll go on treasure hunts, create arts and crafts, and go on rainforest excursions they’ll never forget.
Discover the Living Reef
The Living Reef is a free-form coral lagoon that wraps around Daydream Island. Guided by the resident Marine Biologist, you can experience the wonders of the deep through sight, sound, and touch. Baby stingrays, sharks and sea cucumbers are just a few of the incredible marine creatures available to handle in this wet wonderland. The kids will love the touch ponds, theatre and exhibits.

Jump off a pontoon and snorkel or dive with schools of colourful fish, and after a day of fun in the sun, relax with a scrumptious tropical buffet lunch.
Day trips to Airlie Beach and other Whitsunday Islands
The Whitsundays are a paradise for fun seekers, and what better way to make the most of your stay than by getting out there and exploring? Day trip to Hamilton Island to hire a buggy and play golf on the stunning par 71 golf course. Indulge yourself for a day on the luxurious Hayman Island, or get your nature fix on a trip to Whitehaven’s silica sands and Mantaray Bay’s fascinating marine wonderland.
Rainforest walks
You’ll have to hear it to believe it. Listen to the peaceful sounds of the ancient Tropical North Queensland rainforest: a place filled with birdsong and the hum of native critters. But the sounds are only one part of this special place. Marvel at the lush flora and fauna, blanketing rugged terrain with its gentle bursts of green. Spot different trees and flowers together and let the kids’ imaginations run wild in this enchanting setting.
