Seagoon Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 We are heading up to the whitsundays this Christmas - has anyone got any opinions on which is the best island to stay on and what to do? Will try and squeeze in some fishing, but im sure there is stuff like snorkling, coral tours etc etc. What about box jelly fish? Should be great. Thanks for your ideas in advance ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlin1962 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 hi paint stripper, the and i stayed on day dream island and it was just fantastic it is a good place if you have kids or not, all day and night cruises pick-up a daydream and can be booked from there. make sure you take a trip to whitehaven island it's unbeliveable . there a plenty of fishing trip out of ddream and i think you can hire little boats for the day. about the box jellies they will inform everyone if there are to many blown in, we only were told obout them once as we were going to get on the net behind the boat( i decided to have another beer to cool of instead). ANYWAY HAVE FUN - I WISH I WAS GOING . CHEERS MARTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
