Hook Island in a Heartbeat
Hook Island is a perfectly positioned 58 square kilometre patch of land in the Whitsunday Islands. Hook Reef is an even larger expanse of water that surrounds the shallows and natural underwater formations of Hook Island.
Together, the outdoor activities you can take part in around this amazing part of the world include sailing around the island, kayaking in the smooth, protected coastal waters or swimming by jumping off a luxury yacht moored at one of the many protected anchorages around the island.
On land, protected and private beach camping locations offer those who want to enjoy a picnic or a drink on the pristine sand looking out at the sunset an unforgettable option.
Nature Lovers
For those who love to make spotting and appreciating the local wildlife part of their holi-day, there are dozens of locals you might see on your trip. Snorkelling and swimming in the warm, welcoming waters mean you might see turtles, dozens of varieties of reef fish and manta rays in the shallow waters. In the deeper waters in the winter months, hump-back whales can be seen migrating along the ‘Humpback Highway’ that winds along the coastline.
Above the water, ospreys and sea eagles can be seen lazily circling the island and shallow waters, keeping their eyes out for a meal.
Local Sights and Options
Stonehaven Beach is a popular overnight stay spot, while Maureen’s Cove and Luncheon Bay are both stellar options to enjoy snorkelling. Both are best accessed by mooring near-by and having the freedom to see and explore as you please before returning to the deck for a drink, a sunscreen top-up and something to eat!
