Located at the southern end of Hook Island, Nara Inlet is a deep fjord-like expanse, surrounded either side by magnificent lush green slopes which transcend into the clear turquoise waters and fringing reef. Navigate your way to the end of this scenic and secluded bay where you’ll find the best anchorage for stepping ashore and exploring.

No visit to Nara Inlet should be without a trip through the bush to the Aboriginal cave shelters and magnificent waterfall. In the steep wooded hills surrounding the inlet are the overhanging caves, which show the signs of Aboriginal habituation going back some eight thousand years. Bordered on both sides by piles of shells and decorated with intricate markings and paintings these slices of ancient history are worthy of a quick stop before moving onwards to the rock pools and spectacular waterfall. The delightful rainwater filled pools and cool cascading shower of the waterfall provide a welcome relief from the warm Australian sun and offer a fantastic photo opportunity so have your camera at the ready.

A little further off the beaten path you’ll find Hook underwater observatory. Which allows its visitors to descend nine meters below the ocean to view the fantastic marine life, reef fish and coral within their own unspoilt habitat.
Just before dusk, head back onboard for an evening refreshment as you gaze out across the bay watching the yachts bobbing up down against a backdrop of lofty green hills and catch the last warm rays of the Australian sun before it dips down over the horizon.
