Great Keppel Island
Welcome to Paradise!

Welcome to Paradise! Join us on the Great Barrier Reef for a 5-day tropical island swimming adventure!

 

Host to 17 pristine beaches, coral reef, and an abundance of island and marine life, Great Keppel Island (GKI) is truly a place like no other. Located just 30 minutes from Yeppoon on the Capricorn Coast, GKI lies slightly north of the Tropic of Capricorn and enjoys an ideal sub-tropical climate with plenty of sunshine, mild winters and temperate crystal clear water. The island remains largely uncommercialised and offers a relaxing natural setting for our swimmers.
