Description
Freedom Fast Cats takes you through the spectacular Keppel Bay Islands; located at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef near the Tropic of Capricorn, and boasting some of the most pristine beaches, and unspoilt habitats the reef has to offer.
Join the experienced crew for a memorable day exploring the Keppel bay Islands. They have a range of different cruising options to suit all ages. If you like a more laid back pace, sit back relax and soak up the scenery as you cruise the coves and beaches. For the more adventurous type they have glass bottom boat cruises, snorkelling and the famous boom-netting.

Other Information
Disabled: It is difficult for guests who have restricted to no movement from their wheelchair due to the access on and off the boat is by ramp which is narrow (small wheelchairs can fit). When departing to Great Keppel Island we unload on the beach which makes it very difficult to get to the main concrete pathway however there are some vehicles on the island which could assist.
