Mantaray Bay
✨ Hidden gem
Mantaray Bay sits tucked into the northern end of Hook Island, and it's one of those spots that genuinely lives up to the hype — you anchor off and jump straight into some of the best snorkelling in the Whitsundays. The fringing reef is teeming with marine life, and on a good day the water clarity is remarkable.
