====Overview====
+
-
Daydream island is entirely occupied by a resort.  There are approximately 6 moorings to the east of the island along with a dinghy landing.  The resort rents these moorings for approx $50 per night per vessel, and this gives the crew the run of the island and resort facilities.  Facilities include swimming pools, outdoor spa pools, etc, and there are also showers and toilets.

  • Delatbabel -- I visited there in 2007, and although the moorings are expensive at $50 per night, they are certainly cheaper than a room in the 5 star hotel on the resort. It was a welcome break from cruising the outer islands.
