Hook Island is a ruggedly beautiful Whitsunday island just 25 km east of Shute Harbour. Composed of mainly national park, there are many excellent bushwalking trails particularly one that leads to Butterfly Bay, full of butterflies at the shore. An underwater observatory allows for a unique view of coral and marine life. Spectacular yachting anchorages are available at Nara and Macona inlets and snorkeling & diving are popular in many parts of the island.
