Oyster Stacks and Whales

We packed up camp this morning, loaded the kayaks, and set off for an unforgettable day on the water. Our first destination was Oyster Stacks, where we geared up for a drift dive. The sea life here is absolutely stunning—vibrant coral gardens teeming with fish of every color. Some of us were lucky enough to spot reef sharks gliding through the shallows—an exhilarating experience.
After our dive, we paddled on to Turquoise Bay, where we stopped for a relaxing lunch on the beach. The name doesn’t lie—the water here is a surreal shade of blue. Some enjoyed a second drift dive in the bay, floating over thriving reefs in crystal-clear water. Jan and I chose to soak up the sun and just enjoy a beautiful free swim in these pristine waters. It’s truly one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline we’ve seen.
In total, we kayaked 11 kilometers today before setting up camp at South Trealla. As evening settled in, we sat by camp and watched whales spouting just beyond the reef—a breathtaking and peaceful way to end the day. Moments like these remind us how special and alive this coastline really is and how lucky we truly are.Baca lagi
