Mackay Region

South of the famous Whitsunday Islands, the Mackay Australia area is an alluring mix of no less than 31 white sandy beaches, shy wildlife and country communities, offering an unforgettable and exciting getaway in Queensland.

Being a vibrant city with charming art deco buildings, Mackay boasts a lively arts scene, palm-lined streets, colorful markets, and alfresco dining. The surrounding region is ideal for relaxing holidays, far from the hustle and bustle of modern city life. Explore secluded beaches, lose yourself in pristine rainforests, go snorkeling with the kids and discover the reef, or take your partner for a romantic stroll through the city centre, and savour the tropical ambience of Mackay, easy-going, laid-back and relaxed.

However, for the energetic and serious thrill-seeker, Mackay Queensland is a paradise of outdoor adventures. The Mackay area presents an assortment of tourist activities especially for charter operations and island hopping.

Get into the action with activities such as scuba diving, sailing, fishing expeditions, shipwreck diving, and reef snorkeling. This is where you can access the National Parks islands e.g. Brampton Island and South Cumberland Island.

A mere 32 km north-east of Mackay, Brampton Island is surrounded by sparkling sapphire waters, no less than seven golden beaches, coral gardens and spectacular views, making it the ultimate romantic experience.

Relatively undiscovered, Mackay is all about genuine country hospitality and picture perfect surroundings. Be sure to visit Queens Park Botanical Gardens, Lamberts Lookout for breathtaking views, Cape Hillsborough National Park and Eungalla National Rainforest Parks and Mackay’s Arts Space Gallery.
