There are three beaches, one which is fringed by outcrops of live coral and colourful aquatic life, making it a perfect place to explore with your snorkel. You can also walk the shaded trails through the centre and highest point of the island where parrots and tiny sunbirds inhabit the dense tropical jungle vegetation. From Daydream, you can then explore the rest of the Great Barrier Reef, The Whitsunday Islands and the rainforests of the mainland.
