Coses per fer a Mackay

El nostre tour es va endarrerir una hora a causa del mal temps (bastant inusual, tenint en compte que l'hivern se suposa que és la "temporada seca"), però sincerament van prendre la decisió correcta! Vam tenir una breu finestra de bon temps i bona visibilitat sobre els esculls. El pilot, Jesse, va ser molt amable i alegre; em va fer seure al seu costat en veure que viatjava sol, i sincerament va fer que l'experiència fos molt millor! A més, va ser un dels aterratges més suaus que he experimentat mai en un avió; ni tan sols vaig notar que ja estàvem amb les rodes a la pista. Recomano molt aquest tour! Però permeteu una mica de flexibilitat en el vostre horari, ja que és una activitat molt dependent del temps: estigueu atents a la previsió 2-3 dies abans de fixar una data.

El paisatge comença a ser impressionant 👍, el pilot fa un compte enrere quan s'arriba a l'escull en forma de cor. Tinc molta por a les sacsejades i a la sensació d'ingravidesa, així que vaig prendre pastilles per al mareig endavant i ho vaig poder superar~ Molt recomanable, el servei de recollida i arribada també va ser molt atent i no vam haver d'esperar gaire.

The onboard staff were very enthusiastic and provided detailed introductions. After boarding, we left our ID at the counter to borrow prescription diving masks. At the second dive site, we decided on the spot to pay the 20 AUD for the glass-bottom boat ride, where we saw many fish and corals. The meals on board were simple and average, so those who care about food can bring their own snacks. Also, it is recommended to take motion sickness medicine to avoid ruining a wonderful trip.

Overall a great experience and definitely a must to add onto your itineraries! The tour was organised and the staffs made sure everyone was having a safe and fun day at the reef. You have most of what you’ll need in the boat—sea sickness pills, drinks and snacks. We not only got to see The Great Barrier Reef upclose but also above from the Heli. 😍

We participated in an afternoon departure on a pleasantly cool spring day. On the way there, we encountered whales! An announcement was made, and we stopped for a while to watch them. At Green Island, snorkeling was canceled that day due to a crocodile sighting, so we went on a glass-bottom boat tour instead. We could have still gone into the ocean, but we decided to enjoy the island's walking trails, which led to several small beaches. Before heading back, we dipped our feet in the water.

Experiència excel·lent! La Gran Barrera de Corall val la pena visitar-la! El vaixell Sunlovers era molt agradable en comparació amb altres vaixells. Els guies del SeaWalker i del Scuba Diving van ser excel·lents. També vam tenir la millor experiència de snorkel!

Safety: During free snorkeling, there are many instructors keeping an eye on you at the same time. Floating equipment is provided, so even if you don't know how to swim, you don't need to worry. Equipment: You only need to bring your own towel and swimsuit; everything else is provided. Location: It takes 3 hours by boat from Airlie Port, with 4 hours of free time at the destination. The boat provides plenty of food and drinking water, so there is no need to bring your own snacks. However, the coral bleaching is a bit severe.

Nice island getaway with a relaxing vibe We joined a day trip to Fitzroy Island and overall had a nice experience. The boat ride from the marina took about 45 minutes, which was quite manageable. The weather in the days before our trip had been rainy, so the guide let us know in advance that the water might not be very clear. Even so, it was still enjoyable to spend time on the island and go into the water. The beach we were at had corals instead of soft sand, so it was a bit harder and more slippery to walk on, something visitors may want to be prepared for. We still managed to see a few fishes and corals while snorkelling. Overall, it was a relaxing and pleasant day trip, especially if you want to enjoy island scenery and spend some time by the water. I’d recommend bringing suitable footwear for the coral beach and managing expectations depending on recent weather conditions.

Com que no sabia nedar gaire bé, vaig triar el paquet combinat de vaixell amb fons de vidre i busseig de superfície! El vaixell amb fons de vidre va ser impressionant, només mirant a través del fons es podien veure peixos preciosos i tortugues marines ✨ Per al busseig de superfície, vaig pagar un suplement (12 dòlars australians) per llogar una armilla salvavides! Allunyant-se una mica ja es trobaven bancs de peixos de colors, i nedar-hi un mateix té un encant molt especial 🥹 (tot i que els peixos es veien més nítids des del vaixell amb fons de vidre!). Les guixetes automàtiques, el quiosc i els restaurants acceptaven pagament amb targeta de crèdit per a tot!
