Experience Mackay QLD Australia
Adventure
Suspended in a harness, 25 metres above the forest floor, you’ll experience a lush sub-tropical rainforest in a way you never have before. As you glide along on your guided tour you’ll see the forest and its inhabitants from a completely new angle. Forest Flying is the latest craze in eco-tourism and is just one of the many adventures to be found in beautiful tropical Mackay.
You can also enjoy the forests at a more traditional height by taking one of many walks through Finch Hatton Gorge or Eungella National Park. Whether it’s a 10 minute stroll or a two day hike, be sure to keep an eye out for the elusive platypus who calls these forests home.
For adventures of a more aquatic kind, grab the kids and go snorkelling in the crystal clear waters of the Great Barrier Reef. You can hire a yacht from the Mackay Marina and sail the Coral Sea. Also, Mackay is one of the best regions for recreational fishing on the east coast of Australia, if not the best! Options for fishing in and around Mackay provide an opportunity to enjoy virtually any type of fishing you'd like - freshwater, barra, estuary, reef, game and fly-fishing.
The magnificent freshwater impoundments are stocked with plentiful barramundi and the reef is notorious for multiple hook-ups of the sought-after red emperors and coral trout. It’s all waiting for you in sunny Mackay.
