The tour is nice. The boat took 30min approx. They give you time to explore the island by yourself, snorkel equipment included and lunch is very good!
Beautiful island and amazing beaches and views. We took the boat at 9am, very sunny day and where you arrived is there a coffee restaurant open with a variety of meals. You have the snorkel equipment ready to explore in Monkey beach (takes 30/40 minutes walking). The snorkel tour cost $45 per person if you like to visit another parts of the island. I recommend 100% this tour, thank you.

Third time to Great Keppel Island. Recommend a day trip.
Third trip to Great Keppel Island. If you have never been before I recommend a day trip here. The bar and food area cater for most people. We did the glass bottom tour this time that was ok. Shame there was people leaving rubbish everywhere, some areas near food area looking a little run down

Amazing day at Keppel Island. Worth every penny!
My partner and I just loved Keppel Island. Is worth every penny spent on this experience. The island itself is big, so, if you are looking forward to hiking, be sure to take bottle of water with you because they don't have spots with fresh water besides the restaurant area which is close to the landing area. The food included on the experience could be 4 or 5 types of hamburger, fish n chips (delicious). Well, we loved it.
