Four wheel drive (4WD) adventures can take two forms. The first form is a trip with a 4WD adventure company, on a negotiated itinerary and around specific tracks located throughout the Great Barrier Reef region. The other form is individuals taking 4WD’s out on the tracks by themselves. With this option, either a personal or hire 4WD vehicle is needed and the driver has the added bonus of venturing along the Mackay tracks at any pace.
Firstly, the 4WD adventure company tours are an ideal way to explore the challenging and rugged Mackay terrain, with the comfort of a guide. Professional guides/drivers are usually Mackay locals and enjoy showing passengers true Australian beauty, that’s only accessed by 4WD. Adventure tours range in duration, depending on the chosen destination. Excellent 4WD tracks in Mackay can take people on a journey amongst untouched National Parks, across captivating beaches, between farmland and through superb countryside.
The second form of 4WD adventure allows individuals with private vehicles to venture tracks on their own. Ideal driving locations for 4WD enthusiasts can be found at any one of Mackay’s National Parks and along a selected amount of beaches during low tide. Individual 4WD adventures can be extremely rewarding but remember that during the wet season extreme caution must be taken and safety equipment is highly recommended.
