Begin your day in Mackay’s magnificent marina, with its palm-fringed esplanade and yachts bobbing in the harbour, it’s a stunning location to enjoy a sumptuous waterfront breakfast. Choose your mode of transportation to Keswick Island. This tropical island paradise can be accessed via the Keswick Explorer, which runs scheduled transfers between Mackay Marina and Keswick Island every Monday and Friday and offers affordable, accessible transport to the Island. Schedules can be seen and bookings can be made at the Keswick Website, www.keswickisland.com.au. Or arrive to Keswick on your own boat. Just an hour from Mackay the journey is sure to excite and delight all passengers. Keswick Island offers moorings (charged at a daily rate) as well as tender transfers to the island (if required). Rest your head under the stars, choosing from a basic cabin to a self-contained house, enjoy home cooked meals in a fully-licensed guest house or experience Keswick Island’s famed ‘glamping’ option.
