CAPRICORN

Islands and Beaches

When you set foot on one the Keppel Islands you will feel as though you have stepped into an island paradise where the 'squeaky-clean' white sand flows between your toes and the ocean sparkles before your eyes. Whether you're visiting Great Keppel for a lazy Sunday picnic lunch, or staying for a couple of weeks, you can't fail to be impressed by the scenery or the relaxed atmosphere on the island.

Of course, the Capricorn Region is a jumping off point to one of the natural wonders of the world: the magnificent Southern Great Barrier Reef. Just a short ferry ride from the mainland and you will be walking on sun-bleached beaches and snorkelling in crystal clear waters.

In Capricorn you can experience the joys of island cruising within an hour of leaving port, without the hustle and bustle of other coastal cruising grounds. Join a day cruise to explore the beaches and islands of Keppel Bay. Most cruises include time to explore the relaxed village atmosphere of Great Keppel Island, as well as snorkelling, cruising or sailing.
