Capricorn Coast Tours
Great Keppel Island, reef snorkelling, Byfield 4WD, the caves, fishing and more — guided day trips and private tours from the family that's toured Queensland since 1974.
Capricorn Coast Tours
The Capricorn Coast is made for touring — but the island crossings, the tides, the 4WD tracks and the reef take a little organising. That’s where we come in. Cooee Tours has run Queensland trips since 1974, and our Capricorn Coast tours put the logistics in local hands so you can enjoy the island, the reef and the wild north.
Below is the full range — day tours and multi-day trips, plus fully private and bespoke options designed around your group. Every tour is enquiry-based: tell us your dates and interests and we’ll tailor it and confirm pricing. We build each trip around the coast’s genuine experiences and local operators.
