Departing on the 9am ferry service over to the island, it's a short 30 minute join to the main beach on Great Keppel Island. Please note, there is no jetty on the island so the ferry pulls in, ramp goes down and you disembark straight onto soft white sand - you may get wet feet! Upon arrival, head towards the Hideaway sign (look for the hula girls on the logo) and you'll come to the GKI Watersports & Activities. This is where your choice of full day snorkel hire or 1hr SUP/kayak can be arranged. Carrying on up the sandy track, you'll come onto the Hideaway's lawn area - this is where your lunch and refreshment component are included, please note lunch hours are 11:30am-2pm. You departure from the island is 4pm.

5.00Excellent experience and definitely worth visiting. It's a great place to snorkel or just relax by the beach. We hiked and saw the super quiet side of Keppel Island so that was nice.

4.00Went across on the ferry with my wife as part of a deal. Return ferry/ lunch and a drink and snorkeling ( if wanted.) All up 7 hours. (Bit long for us) enjoyed the beach and sand and also the lunch. Needs some TLC. Looks to be a little rundown. Booked an earlier ferry ( were there for around 5 hours, which was enough for us. Rang up and changed our ferry return time to 2 hours earlier. They neglected to tell us the drop off point may not be the pickup point due to tidal changes and the ferry’s access to the beach. Need to keep an eye out for that. Great day anyway.
Had heaps of fun...

The staff on the boat were all very friendly and helpful. The kids were super excited to see whales on our trip over to the island!

5.00It was a lovely day trip. Ferry is on time, the crews are very helpful, polite too. When we got to the shore, the island is amazing. We are going back soon and this time, we will stay the night. Food at the bistro is beautiful too.
