Hook Island
Nara Inlet is our recommended first night stop. Easy to reach, its sheltered waters mean a comfortable first night to get used to your boat.With several choices of anchorages and several moorings, Stonehaven is popular. If you're adventure minded, there are waterfalls to explore.

Langford Island.
This long mostly sandy strip almost disappears at high tide! A fun day stop for a beach picnic and snorkelling on the western end. To avoid the area's extensive reefs, navigate here in good light with a lookout on the bow.

Hamilton Island
A good mid-charter stopover, for topping up the water tanks, dropping garbage and shopping, Hamilton's Marina Village has restaurants, bars, bakery, supermarket and speciality shops. Rent a golf buggy and explore the island or stretch your legs on enjoyable walks.

Hook Island, Northern End
Known for good snorkelling and dramatic scenery, most of the anchorages have safe moorings for coral protection. Manta Ray Bay, one of the most beautiful anchorages anywhere, has an astounding array of fish and coral. Mooring is limited to two-hour visits. The rock formation known as the "Woodpile" is a famous landmark.

Daydream Island
Smallest of the resort islands and refurbished in 2001, little Daydream has a small marina for visiting yachts. Named "Daydream" after his yacht, Paddy Lee Murray stopped here on a world cruise in the 1930's and went no further!
