As a part of our Epic Reef & Island Tours, visiting Mackay Coral Cay you can explore the Great Barrier Reef from a completely unique perspective.

We offer a captivating SUP session on this tour. This soft, eco-adventure is an awesome way to witness the astounding variety of sealife and coral that this incredible World Heritage site has to offer. From turtles, stingrays and 1,500 fish species, you don’t need to be a diving pro or snorkeler to see them in action.

With rates as low as $300 per person, this package is ideal for groups of friends, families and those seeking a more private day of adventure along the Great Barrier Reef. Included is a guided SUP and snorkelling tour in the morning, followed by lunch and a range of afternoon water sports activities.

Your epic reef expedition will begin at 8:30am where you’ll hop aboard our fast boat, Extreme 1 or NoSwell.  Upon arrival, we’ll begin with a fun and chilled-out Stand-up paddle tour. You can explore the marine life from above through the shallow, crystalline waters. We regularly spot turtles and a large variety of tropical fish, stingrays and if you’re lucky, harmless reef sharks!

After your SUP adventure, we’ll take a quick refresher and indulge in a tropical fruit buffet, before taking to the ocean for an incredible snorkelling session. It’s time to get up close to what lurks below!

The waters surrounding all islands of this magnificent coastline boasts 150 different species of hard coral, which is dominated by 15 species of soft coral. Swimming amongst them are colourful tribes of parrotfish, angelfish, damselfish, clownfish, trevally, rabbitfish, sweetlip, moon wrasse, fusiliers, giant 60-year-old clams and resident turtles – just to name drop a few!

For the afternoon, you can customise your itinerary and choose to do more SUP and snorkelling or opt in for a session of adrenaline-fuelled water sports, choosing from wakeboarding or tubing. If you are experienced kiteboarder, equipment will be on board for you to use.

We do not provide kiteboarding lessons on board, so previous experience is necessary to use the equipment. If you’re not experience kiter, you can still have a go with flying a kite and use one of our smaller trainer kites. It’s a great fun for any age, you’ll get hooked, guaranteed.

Spearfishing is also available on board, but due to fishing and spearfishing restrictions in certain areas, spearfishing activity is not available on trips to Low Isles.
