Mackerel Islands
Whether it's diving, fishing, turtle and whale watching, bird watching or just plain relaxing, the Mackerel Islands are an ideal destination.
It’s no secret that Exmouth is a diver’s paradise. But what remains on the hush is that the quality diving extends further north to the Mackerels, where you’ve got world-class diving but without the crowds.
The pristine tropical waters are teeming with life. From small nudibranchs, to myriad fish of all sizes, turtles in their thousands and a variety of ever-majestic sharks – there’s something to suit all types of divers and snorkellers.
Fishing is also up there with some of the best in the country. Whether you like to bottom bounce for your dinner, or tag and release for sport, the waters around the Mackerels have it all. Those who prefer to stay on land will also be able to catch some impressive fish off the jetty and beach.
Accommodation is available on two islands. Thevenard Island offers beach cabins that sleep up to ten people, as well as Club Thevenard accommodation village with single, twin and double rooms. Direction Island has only one beach cabin which sleeps up to eight people – have the island to yourself!
