Perfect day out on the Kraken - We had such a fun and relaxing day out with Carl and the crew on the Kraken. Perfect weather definitely helped, and the fast boat made it possible to visit a number of spots to enjoy the beaches, snorkelling and SUPs. A highlight was seeing a guitar shark! Lunch was delicious and we especially loved hearing about the history of the islands and eco projects the team are involved in.

Highly recommend whether you're a local or visitor! - I could not recommend this experience enough.
My mother (a Yeppoon local and former Great Keppel Island resident) booked this trip for a pre-Christmas treat for myself, my Sydney-based husband and his parents who were visiting the area for the first time. I grew up in Yeppoon and have done various boat trips to Keppel and surrounds but this is by far the best and most comprehensive experience I've had! I've actually never been around the entire Great Keppel Island before and the boat operator was incredibly knowledgeable and the tour was really interesting about the history of the island and ecosystems.
The boat was undercover so you're protected from the sun. We had a small, intimate, friendly group on the boat. Despite some rough-ish conditions with a strong northerly, we were in safe hands with the skilled staff. And we could tell they really knew what they were doing, trying to find us the best spots with the conditions that we had. The morning tea and lunch was more than ample and delicious (prawns and wraps). The best part was stopping for a swim at Middle Island which made the experience feel special (rather than just Keppel main beach).
The staff were very friendly and reasurring (I'm a nervous swimmer) and for me, despite previous chances to do so, it was my first time snorkelling at the old underwater overvatory. A fantastic experience all around. My in laws (in their 70s) really enjoyed it, despite not snorkelling (by choice). They had a swim at Middle Island and it was a relaxing day for them too.
We had to dodge some stormy weather rolling in off the coast on the way back but it made the boat trip rather exhilerating.
Next time I have friends or family visit Yeppoon with me, this is the trip/tour I will be booking.
Thanks for having us!

New Years Day Kraken Snorkeling tour around Keppel Islands! - A great time with our family on today’s Kraken snorkeling tour! Very knowledgeable staff and also very funny…. My two boys loved it.
Peeling prawns on a remote Keppel island beach will be a long held memory!
The Observatory was awesome….so clear and soooo many fish….Felt like we were swimming in a fish tank.
An absolutely amazing day and well worth it….!!!

Half the time twice the fun - Despite the afternoon weather wind picking up we were changed to a half day tour and it was still amazing! Kids loved the snorkelling- event spotted a turtle while in the water and seen many while on the boat. Great morning out, would of been a great full day but they keep a close a eye on the weather and im glad we came back in when we did.

Great way to see Great Keppel Island - My teen and I had a wonderful day, cruising around GKI and snorkelling in a variety of spots. The crew were helpful and knowledgeable, and made it fun. We saw lots of coral, fish, squid and even a few turtles!

Great tour. - We loved this tour. Keppel island was fantastic. Great beaches and the snorkelling was far better than what we expected. Amazing coloured coral on the east side and huge fish by the old observation deck.
The crew were excellent and made our day so enjoyable.
