A experience everyone is recommended to have!! - Guided snorkelling was the best part of the day. Affordable, easy and most importantly breathtaking sights of the fish and the corals in the sea.

Relaxing on GKI - Excellent day trip to the island. Enough time allowed to wander around, find a private spot on the beach under the trees and just relax.

Day trip with dog - Great day out. Ferries were on time and all the staff very friendly. Was great to take the dog over for the day. Easy to access snorkelling equipment.

Awesome ferry crew 👏 - Great young crew running the ferry over and back. Unfortunately the island itself is pretty run down. The lookout walk was poorly maintained and we couldn't see much when we got there. The staff at the resort were very knowledgeable about tides for snorkelling and we had a great time swimming and snorkelling. The bar was relaxing for some drinks before our return ferry trip

A great trip to see the reef! - This was a great trip to snorkel on the southern Great Barrier Reef. Be prepared as there is some hiking, climbing and descending steep and rocky tracks in order to get to the best snorkelling spots though. Everyone was very helpful and we had clear instructions on how to get where we needed to be. The hike was fairly strenuous, but the snorkelling was fantastic and made it worth the effort. I would suggest you consider paying extra in order to get a boat tour/trip around the island in order to get more easily, and to more of the great snorkelling areas. Our package also included lunch and there was a good selection of great meals to choose from. Overall, an excellent trip to Great Keppel Island!

Great Keppel getaway - From the start of the process of going to the return KK were great. Booking was with ease and no issues with changing times. Staff were always very helpful and polite. The captain and crew on board where great and worked well at looking after everyone, great teamwork, friendly and Professional. Highly recommend using KK for any of their services.

Great day out - It was a great day out as a family, unfortunately the weather wasn’t fantastic so the waters weren’t as clear to no fault of anyone’s! The crew were great and so was the trip there and back. It’s definitely easy enough to find. Lunch was also great!! Be mindful with little ones (our youngest is 4). It’s ALOT of walking on sometimes steep ‘unmaintained’ tracks around the island. There’s no barricades or ropes so it could best little dangerous. I also don’t love that you have to muck around filling out forms and collecting the gear on one side of the beach to then walk all the way to the other side of the beach to start your journey. Overall I do recommend just consider if taking young children.
