Awesome day in paradise - Important that you book especially in school holidays. Bring sunscreen, hat and long sleeves to protect your skin. The crew was courteous and the journey to great Keppel was smooth. We planed on the beach and were kept well informed that due to the moon there was a king tide so the boat would meet us on a sand bank that would appear after a 5 meter tide drop. The waters surrounding Great Keppel are the clearest I have ever seen. The sand is really soft to walk on and is so white. Great place for swimming and water sports. The glass bottom boat was a smooth ride and the marine biologist was enthusiastic and very informative. We boarded the ferry in the water as predicted and the ride back was only slightly bumpy.

Amazing Day Trip - The service on Freedom Fast Cats was excellent with clear instructions and great communication. We did the glass bottom boat tour and Brenda was a great tour guide. She worked hard to ensure she gave us great views and was very knowledgeable. The ferry transfer was great, the crew were very friendly and shared information with passengers. Thanks for a great day out Freedom Fast Cats.

A great day out. - We had an excellent day out. Service was fantastic on both the ferry and the glass bottom boat tour and the lady running the glass bottom boat really knew her stuff! She answered all our questions cheerfully and came across as someone who genuinely cared about the reef and the ecosystems around it. When we got home I immediately called my sister and suggested it would be great for her family next time they come up to Rocky. The morning tea and lunch were straightforward (not too fancy!) but very good, and there was plenty to eat both times. We had a great time and are planning on coming back to do snorkeling next time.

Great family day out for a great price - Trip was fantastic. The staff were very caring and supportive. My 3 year old got quite anxious when we started to get some bigger waves on the ferry and one of the crew came over to check on us and distract our little one. The weather was too choppy to do the glass bottom boat on great keppel but the crew were able to take us to middle island for the tour. Tilly was very professional, passionate and informative. Once we arrived on the island the staff told us where to snorkel and we did our own snorkelling in the shallows which was perfect for the kids. Only negative was that we chose a Friday and the return was 2.30 we would have liked more time to explore the island.

Ferry, glass bottom boat and snorkelling tour - The day trip was nice, not the best of days weather wise however, the crew were friendly and helpful. The value was fairly good. Food very basic. A few bits of knowledge/information tidbits would have regarding life on Great Kepple, sealife, other islands around Great Kepple from the guides would have been good and made for a more informative day. However it was a good day out and I enjoyed myself.

Beautiful scenic ferry to great keppel and glass bottom boat was great - The ferry was great which friendly staff. The only regret was not much time approx. 40 mins on great keppel for which we were thinking of snorkelling but didn't have much time. The cold meat and salad buffet for lunch was great, also the morning tea of coffee, cake and lamington fingers was great and afternoon tea of cheese and crackers with coffee. The glass bottom boat was great but would have thought we would see alot more fish but guess it just depends on the day. Bummer. The commentry was great from the staff members on ferry and glass bottom boat. Thank you fast cats team

Great Keppel day trip - Good value for money. Short ferry ride followed by glass bottom boat tour which was very informative and we saw several turtles. Had lunch at the pub which was a scenic spot and food was good. Some of the island facilities are quite run down.
