We loved the island but as a couple in our 60s we were disappointed with the lack of information about snorkeling… we love snorkeling however had no idea about the hard access to get there… 20 mins with a “very steep” climb or a 45 mins hike across island…. We tried swimming out and around but was too much…. Once we read warning sign we decided not to try walking and was very hot…loved the lunch and swimming though

AMAZING!!! From start to finish of the day. All staff from Checkin to Keppel were happy and smiling. Informative. Safety concious. Most of all willing and able to help. Special requests were no problem at all. I can not rate this team any higher than 5 stars. If I could. I most certainly would. Hands down. This Team is the BEST!!!! We will be back in the future. Thank you all again.

Nothing fancy but great value for money! Friendly crew. We had a great day! Shelving beach was so beautiful. We walked on the track to get to it, a little tiny bit steep down to the beach. and went across the rocks back. Good fun. Need sensible rock shoes. 🤩

Hideaway bar and bistro on great Keppel Island is very run down, and unkept, I would not recommend this trip to anyone, as its totally over priced for $80 a head all you get is lunch and 1 drink, toilets were very run down.

This was such a lovely experience..the ferry ride over was terrific with 2 friendly and experienced young women getting us to and from the island quickly and safely. The island was beautiful and beaches stunning with crystal clear water. We had a great breakfast when we got there ( good priced and yummy) and we had the lunch and drink package as part of the trip. The meal choices were great and the food quality excellent. Meals were huge too. We had a steak sandwich and Thai beef salad. The day was lovely and relaxing and well worth the money.

If this place is not heaven on earth, I dont know what is. Everything about the island was amazing and felt like home. I Can't wait to go again in a few weeks time and check out the glass bottom boat.

This trip was fantastic! The ferry ride was an instant highlight - we were warned that the back part gets very wet, but didn't expect to make air from the waves and come away utterly drenched 🤣 The island itself was stunning; pristine (somewhat squeaky) white sand beaches, aqua waters, vibrant green plant life and easy access to everything we needed. There were bars on the beaches, a comfortable cool wind and super tasty food options to pick from. We saw live music and echidnas near the restaurant and spent much of the day chilling at the beach and snorkeling over the reef. There were plenty of colourful giant clams, loads of small fish and great swathes of brain coral. The water was murkier than expected and the coral was browner than we had anticipated, but still awesome to see. The bushwalking trails to the beaches were also super easy (warning signs felt very overrated), and the abundance of coconuts were neat to spot. Overall my group and I agreed to come back as we were only able to explore such a tiny part of the island over the course of the day - definitely need a few days or a week to see everything!

Staff were friendly and were happy to see us......ferry was well maintained, and it was a comfortable ride. Pet friendly! Good ride across and back, and they were happy to help us with an adjustment to our ride time back from the island. Ten out of ten experience!

Amazing natural island. Beautiful beaches. Lovely staff. A great day trip. Lots of beach and bush tracks to explore. Would recommend more sign posts on walks as not clear on map with directions.
