Precious
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park was established in 1975 and is the world’s largest marine protected area.

Natural Wonder
It is made up of nearly 2900 individual reefs very close together which include 760 fringing reefs and 300 coral cays.

Low Isles
Sailaway takes you to Low Isles, a network of islands and a coral cay on the Great Barrier Reef where you can sail & snorkel with the turtles.

Marine Wildlife
The fish are nothing short of spectacular. Turtles, eels, reef sharks, clams, sponges, rainbow fish, butterfly fish and sea cucumbers are just a few – snorkelling on the reef creates lifetime memories.

MACKAY CORAL CAY

The Coral Cays are pure white sand surrounded by a large fringing reef system and crystal clear water.

Sailaway is the only operator from Port Douglas who has access to visit Mackay Coral Cays. This exclusivity means we have the area to ourselves to explore without restrictions.
