Hook Island is one of the Whitsunday Islands off the coast of the Australian state of Queensland. The island is almost uninhabited, quite rugged and almost completely contained within a section of the Whitsunday Islands National Park. The island has two prominent geographical features on the southern side of Hook Island; the Nara and Macona inlets, two fjord-like recesses that are used as anchorages for the Whitsunday tourist fleet. The island's northern coast is noted for its colourful underwater coral growths, to which snorkelling and diving enthusiasts are attracted.

- Hook Island is one of the Whitsunday Islands off the coast of the Australian state of Queensland.

The island has two prominent geographical features on the southern side of Hook Island; the Nara and Macona inlets, two fjord-like recesses that are used as anchorages for the Whitsunday tourist fleet. The island's northern coast is noted for its colourful underwater coral growths, to which snorkelling and diving enthusiasts are attracted. In 1964, photos were taken at the islands which circulated globally after what was believed to be some kind of sea monster was visible. The best known of the Hook Island Sea Monster photos is familiar to many (the two or three others are less familiar). It features a gigantic, tadpole-like monster, supposedly encountered in Stonehaven Bay, Hook Island, Queensland, by Robert Le Serrec and his family and a friend during December 1964. On 12 February 2008 a yacht ran aground at Cape Cove. The yacht became wedged on dangerous rocks requiring the rescue of 37 people by helicopter. The incident was Australia's largest helicopter rescue operation from a vessel. At least two people have died from irukandji jellyfish stings while snorkeling off Hook Island. Some of the oldest archaeological sites ever found in Eastern Australia are the caves and midden of the Ngaro People on Hook Island. A site at Nara Inlet is the oldest indication of Aboriginal occupation in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. (en)

La costa settentrionale dell'isola è nota per i suoi coloratissimi coralli. Il 12 febbraio del 2008 uno yacht si è arenato a Cape Cove. La barca rimase incastrata tra le rocce di notte e in condizioni meteo avverse e fu necessario l'intervento di elicotteri per salvare le 37 persone che si trovavano a bordo. È stata la più grande operazione di salvataggio compiuta da elicotteri su un'imbarcazione mai effettuata in Australia. Nel dicembre 2009 due persone hanno perso la vita a causa delle punture della medusa irukandji mentre facevano snorkeling a Hook Island. Alcuni dei più antichi siti archeologici mai trovati in Australia orientale sono le grotte del popolo di Hook Island. Un sito a Nara Inlet è la più antica indicazione di occupazione aborigena nel Parco marino della Grande barriera corallina.. (it)
