Great day - We were lucky to have a very nice sunny day with almost no wind. Trip o Island was very smooth and the captain slowed down so that we could see a whale. Would do it again with family.

Whales and wonderful beaches! - Booked on the 7.30am trip. Cheaper! Can't work out why, more time in paradise. Hoped for Whales on the way over. WOW, did I see Whales! Two mature Humpbacks pec slapping their way to within 50m of the boat. And the bonus, a young calf breaching its heart out. 4 ripper breaches in a row. What a treat. Then on to GKI. So many spectacular beaches, so much bird and wildlife. Walked about 15km and had two refreshing swims. Left a few beaches for next trip! All in all, a wonderful day off the mainland for such a reasonable price. Thank you Keppel Konnections!

A little bit of paradise - Walking along the beach and soaking in the beauty of the island and the water.
Having lunch overlooking the water.
The bonus was seeing whales on our return journey.

Great day out. - I recently went great keppel with tour group and had amazing time. Food was great at Bistro people were friendly and beach and water very nice. I went walk up to lookout about 3.5 km. It was flat start with but then steep hill which was very rough. Good views up there. Boat trip was good.

Return Ferry to Great Keppel Is - The ferry trip return from Yeppoon to Gt Keppel Is was great - reliable times for pick up & drop off. It would have been better if we were given a small history of the Island along with marine talk & environmental factors … Coral etc - not essential but it would have added an element of sophistication to the trip especially for overseas travellers. Including the sighting of a breaching whale would have been appropriate to point out to passengers for those who missed it. Otherwise I cannot complain about the service & friendliness of staff

Self guided tour with boat transfers - The tour is really just a boat transfer with snorkeling gear and lunch included.
Staff were very friendly and boat was comfortable.
We did the tour with our two young daughters. Had to wait 30 minutes to get the snorkelling gear. Then had to walk about 40 minutes over a mountain to find a snorkelling spot. This was fun but challenging with carrying all the gear and ensuring the kids ween’t injured.
The island is beautiful and worth the trip. Reef was average for the effort.
Then we had the queue again 30 minutes to order our included lunch.
Overall we all enjoyed the trip. Just didn’t feel it was value for money.
