Keppel Islands Cruise
Loop the Keppel Bay islands from Rosslyn Bay — beaches, coral snorkelling, boom-netting and marine life, the relaxed all-in island day.
A Keppel Islands Cruise
See the Keppel Bay islands the way they’re meant to be seen — from the water. A cruise from Rosslyn Bay loops the island group, stopping for island beaches, coral snorkelling and coral viewing, often with a splash of boom-netting and commentary on the islands and their marine life. It’s the relaxed, all-in island day, and we arrange it with the coast’s established cruise operators.
Perfect for families and anyone who wants a taste of several islands rather than a single beach. Read the island backstory in our Keppel islands guide.

Islands Cruise — Quick Answers
What does the Keppel Islands cruise include?

Which islands does the cruise visit?
It varies with the operator and conditions, but cruises take in Great Keppel and the surrounding islands — beaches, coral and lookouts around the group. See our Keppel islands guide.
What is boom-netting?
A bit of fun where you ride in a net trailed behind the moving boat — a classic Queensland cruise thrill, offered by some operators (conditions permitting).
Is it good for families?
Yes — island cruises suit families, with beaches, easy snorkelling and boom-netting. Take sun protection and stinger suits in the warmer months.
How is this different from the snorkelling cruise?
The islands cruise is more about seeing the island group — beaches, coral and boom-netting — while the snorkelling cruise focuses on getting you over the best coral. Ask us which suits you.
