Imagine the thrill of skimming across the azure waters of the Southern Great Barrier Reef, the wind in your hair, the sun on your face, and the breathtaking beauty of the Keppel Islands on the horizon. This is no ordinary boat trip; it’s a quick and comfortable adventure that takes you deep into the heart of one of Australia’s most stunning archipelagos, less than an hour from Rockhampton and only minutes from Yeppoon, on the Capricorn Coast in Central Queensland.
Your adventure begins as you board our fast boat, "The Kraken," and set off across the waves. Feel the exhilaration as you slice through the water, marveling at the kaleidoscope of colors beneath you. The Keppel Islands, a cluster of 15 islands and islets, emerge like emerald jewels, their lush vegetation and white sandy beaches a stark contrast to the surrounding sea. As you weave through narrow channels, past secluded bays, and pristine beaches, every turn reveals a new breathtaking vista. Enjoy the chance to snorkel beautiful coral reefs, paddle board across crystal clear waters, relax on our chill-out pontoon, or spot marine life such as dolphins leaping in your wake, turtles surfacing for air, and, if you’re lucky, whales or manta rays gliding effortlessly beneath your boat. Disembark easily onto a white sandy beach where a wealth of experiences awaits. Hike trails leading to panoramic views, paddle board and snorkel in spots thriving with tropical fish, or simply relax on the brilliant white sands of a secluded beach. As the sun begins to set, enjoy a delicious Cheese & Deli Board and a glass of champagne on the beach. Watch the sky change colors, reflecting off the water and creating a magical atmosphere. As you make your way back to the mainland, you'll carry with you memories of an exhilarating adventure and a newfound appreciation for the natural beauty of the Keppel Islands. Funtastic Cruises' Kraken Experience is more than just a journey; it’s an adventure that stirs the soul and ignites a sense of wonder.
