Raining today? Who cares, you’re on Daydream Island!
That’s right unfortunately. We spent all day on rainy Daydream Island. But I realized that even rain could be nice!

Once the Vessel Boat dropped us on Daydream’s harbour, we were given some Daydream branded umbrellas to protect ourselves from the rain gods, and to enjoy our stay in this beautiful resort.
Fishes do not really care about the weather so we were able to feed them at the living reef lagoon. The hotel has a great artificial built-in structure allowing tourists to discover and to feed fishes they might not be able to see otherwise. We all went to feed the huge stingrays. We also admired the feeding of the sharks and of “Henry” the cod. Stingrays were really docile and impressive, but I preferred taking care of the beautiful star fish!

The weather did not allow us to have our sailing event as planned. But if it is rainy on Daydream Island, that’s no worries mate !
You can spend your whole day in the Rejuvenation Spa, in which we had an extraordinary moment! (Parents, there is a Kid Skipper club for your children while you are at the SPA!)
I experienced a 1 hour Botanical Regeneration (body exfoliation, steam table, scalp massage), but you can also try like 30 other ones (hot stones, facial, etc.)

We came back to Hamilton Island and were introduced to a Great Barrier Reef Ranger who told us about some keys facts of this gigantic amazing living ecosystem.
Then, we had a team activity in which creativity, organization, management and acting were required. In my team (with Myriam, Ben S., Yi, Greg) we decided to give each of us a sea animal role. I actually got the crab’s one, and had to explain to the audience what corals were. All I can say is that it is really hard imitating the crabs’ moves!








Nous sommes doublement voisins désormais!
Je vis avec ma petite famille en Nouvelle-Calédonie et je suis originaire de grenoble.
Je te souhaite bonne chance pour ce “best job”. Ton site est splendide, bravo!
Nous avons prévu des vacances sur Brisbane en janvier 2010… je peux prendre la suite sur Hamilton island?? LOL
Encore bonne chance, je suis ça avec attention.

I’m so jealous! I haven’t visited any of the islands yet, just mainland australia… but every bit I’ve been to has been just incredible! Haven’t experienced a spa yet, so you’re pretty lucky… was it weird being a guy getting a spa treatment?
oh,that’s so excited! It’s everyone’s dream.
