Return Ferry Transfers are available seven days, all year round! A short 30 minute ferry ride from Rosslyn Bay Harbour on their spacious, airconditioned and licenced catamarans and you'll be discovering one of the best island getaways that the Southern Great Barrier Reef has to offer. Great Keppel Island is located 18km off the Capricorn Coast which makes it ideal for a day trip or extend your stay for a night or two and enjoy the sunset from under the paperbark trees on Putney Beach. Uncover Great Keppel Island's 17 pristine, white, sandy beaches by hiking the fabulous array of bush tracks and discover the beautiful vistas and historical homestead. Hikes on Keppel range from a leisurely stroll to difficult and challenging treks. Snorkel directly off the beach and swim amidst the turtles, starfish, coral gardens and the amazing varieties of tropical fish and other marine life. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to encounter a Dugong. Watersports have you covered with your aquatic activities from snorkelling equipment, kayaks, paddle-boards and more and when hunger strikes, walk along the beachfront track to choose from 3 licensed venues. Once you discover this spectacular island paradise you will never want to leave.
