Whitsunday Islands National Park
You’ll pass through the Molle Island group, which includes the larger North Molle and South Molle Islands, along with the smaller West Molle, where Daydream Island Resort is located. You'll cross a wide channel of water that Captain Cook sailed through on Sunday 3rd of June, 1770. Captain Cook named this passage 'Whitsunday Passage' after the Christian festival of Pentecost ‘Whit Sunday’, which was celebrated on the same date. The surrounds inspired Captain Cook to name the region the 'Whitsunday' group of islands. We'll anchor at Cid Harbour overnight, a tranquil and spacious harbour, one of the largest in the Whitsundays. Enjoy a memorable sunset before joining dinner in the main saloon. Following dinner, join the Captain and crew on the upper observation deck for star gazing and the identification of celestial constellations.
