Dis­cov­er the mag­ic of the Mack­er­el Islands.

Escape to the Mack­er­el Islands for a hol­i­day full of adven­ture and relax­ation, just a 2‑hour flight or 1,400km dri­ve north of Perth. A col­lec­tion of ten pris­tine islands and atolls scat­tered off the mid-coast of West­ern Aus­tralia, 22km from the main­land of Onslow, the Mack­er­el Islands wel­come guests to two of these — Theve­nard Island and Direc­tion Island — with accom­mo­da­tion, facil­i­ties, activ­i­ties and tours. Stay in a choice of beach­front cab­ins with stun­ning ocean views, or for the ulti­mate wilder­ness escape, rent your own island with a sole beach shack. Spot sea tur­tles, whales and dol­phins, snorkel among colour­ful fish, jump on a kayak or SUP board, hire a boat and cruise around the bay, stargaze in awe while soak­ing up the quiet­ness, or join our skip­per on one of our sen­sa­tion­al fish­ing char­ters. This is the amaz­ing, off the beat­en track expe­ri­ence you’ve been look­ing for.
