Keppel Konnections — Local services in Rosslyn

Exceptional! This is a spectacular day trip and exceptional value for money. I was always under the impression that you needed to fly to Cairns and on to Port Douglas to experience the best of the Great Barrier Reef. Not so!! A mere 30 minute ferry from just outside Yeppoon and you can step directly onto the white sandy shore of Great Keppel Island.

And what better way to experience the best of GKI than with a KeppelKonnections package. Our day trip included return transfers, snorkel hire for the day and choice of lunch and beverage.

The quality of the meals was excellent- one of the better fish meals I have had in Queensland, for sure. The staff were all lovely.

The island itself was a delightful surprise. White sandy beaches - clear blue waters, with really great snorkeling. No stingers! The reef off Monkey Beach was, in my opinion, so much better than the big commercial pontoons offered further north.

The walking trails are not well marked, but the tracks are worth the effort to emerge from the bush onto a deserted beach.

We added kayak hire to our day. GKI is quite hilly, so after a big hike it was nice to paddle our way to Shelving and Monkey Beach rather than walk again. Did I mention the snorkeling was excellent?

Next time we will stay on the island for a couple of nights and really get amongst it.

Thanks Keppel Konnections for a wonderful day. 10/10 for value, experience and...

Absolute joke! (Don't use Kepple Dive) (also got food here half a chicken burger they must've been running out! Pic below) Arrived on the island for our prepaid snorkeling tour and transfers to be told sorry we don't have any snorkeling gear left! We had two small kids in toe really excited for the day, when I asked the manager at the snorkeling shack if that was it as in do you have a solution? he just shrugged his shoulders and said its not his fault or problem ( he couldn't care less that two small kids were standing there disappointed by their poor management) We booked with get your guide ( don't do this there based on Germany and impossible to get a refund from) after losing my cool they sent me to reception at the hotel who told me she had a solution, the solution being that I could go to another provider pay for the snorkeling gear hie myself then try to get a refund from get your guide!!!! WOW and it was nobody's problem and nobody's fault!! Hey guys some simple business management count how many tickets you sell and count how many sets of snorkeling gear you have in stock! Your welcome!!! What a shower of useless...

Went for day trip to great Keppel with snorkelling and lunch included skipper boat and staff where good although found booking process poor selecting times for departing to island and returning wasn't clear at all i can understand boats get full although you should be able to book a certain time and keep it was looking at a 2pm return and was allocated a 4:45 pm time slot only getting told that on the day should be able to book available time slot and keep it. lunch was good although ordering at 1pm was told it would take an hour there was no way of knowing when meal was ready was told to come back near window in a hour and they would call name out stood there for nearly fifteen minutes wondering if name had been called or how much more wait time there was so many easy improvements...
