Butterfly Bay - Hook Island

First stop on the Whitsunday Adventure, was Butterfly Bay.

We woke up in Port Airlie and prepared ourselves to cross the passage, which ended up being an extremely smooth ride, phew!

Once across the passage, Brett thought it would be nice to troll the channel on our way to Butterfly Bay. After only 5 mins of trolling he was on, a massive blue fin tuna! Yes! We were all stoked.

Lachie was up next, he pulled in a Mack tuna, which we let go, not much room in the esky for 2 massive fish!

We pulled into the bay, found a mooring and were surrounding by reef! We scoffed down some breakfast so we could get our snorkel on. So many massive fish, coral and anemones I have never seen before. The reef was alive with colour.

It was such a stunning spot, we decided to stay and spend the day and night there.

Unfortunately, no butterflies as per the broucher! Which was a bummer.Read more
