Islands to visit in Mackay 

The southern-most Whitsunday Islands, Keswick Island is situated 32 kilometres from Mackay and is accessible via the water from the Mackay Marina, or by air. Most of the island is national park and sub-tropical rainforest and fringed by white sandy shorelines, with coral reefs within swimming distance, perfect for snorkelling. Or, hike within the blue gum forests of Brampton Island, keeping an eye out for koalas along the southern entrance to the Whitsunday Passage, and view flatback and green turtles nesting and hatching on nearby Carlisle Island.
