Meet Harrison…and Harrison! 🐠✨ Six years ago, during a Stingray Splash at Daydream Island, Harrison (the boy) was fast asleep in his pram while his parents had an unforgettable encounter with a yet-unnamed Blue Spotted Lagoon Stingray. Inspired by the moment, they suggested naming the stingray Harrison—and the name stuck!
Now, six years later, Harrison returned to meet his namesake, Harrison the stingray. How cool is that?

Do you have a special Daydream Island story to share? We’d love to hear it!

Daydream Island Resort

Daydream Island Resort & Living Reef is ideally located in the heart of Queensland’s Whitsundays Islands and the gateway to the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef. Following an extensive $140 million redevelopment in 2018-2019, our stylish and tranquil island resort offers a range of refurbished spacious and modern rooms and suites with stunning views overlooking the pool and garden landscapes or with ocean views.

The Living Reef is the main centrepiece of the island which is a unique free form coral lagoon wrapping 200m around the central building and holding over 1.5 million litres of water. The Living Reef is home to over 100 species of marine fish, over 80 species of coral and a variety of invertebrates such as starfish, sea cucumbers and crabs.

The Resort offers a revitalised pool landscape that sweeps through the tropical gardens across the resort allowing guests to swim and enjoy unparalleled views across the Whitsundays Great Barrier Reef along with unlimited access to a variety of non-motorised water activities.
