Keppel Islands

One of our exciting adventures is Sea Kayaking in the Keppel Bay of Islands National Park. This area includes 15 islands surrounded by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and is the traditional home of the Ganomi-Woppaburra Aboriginal people.   We paddle, walk and camp close to secluded beaches, plunging cliffs and diverse plant communities to mention a few. Sea turtles breed and feed around the islands.   North Keppel Island offers opportunities to discover wildlife and enjoy the views on some of the walks. Humpy Island is pristine and offers fantastic snorkelling from the beach.
