Cooee Private Tours

Your Capricorn Coast, Designed Around You

Private and bespoke touring is what we do best. Rather than fit your trip to a fixed itinerary, we build the day (or the week) around your group — your dates, your interests, your pace — with a private vehicle and a local guide who knows the coast, the islands and the tides. It’s the most flexible, and often the most rewarding, way to experience the Capricorn Coast.

Chasing the reef? We’ll build an island-and-snorkel trip. Travelling with kids, or a club, or celebrating something? We’ll shape it to suit. Want to weave in Byfield, the caves, fishing or a whale cruise? Consider it done. Family-run since 1974, we’ve been tailoring Queensland trips for a long time.

Private Tours — Quick Answers

What is a private Capricorn Coast tour?

A tour designed from scratch around your group — your dates, your interests, your pace — with a private vehicle and local guide. Mix the island, the reef, Byfield, the caves, fishing and whales however you like. Enquire for a tailored quote.

Who are private tours good for?

Families, couples, friend groups, milestone trips, clubs and corporate days — anyone who wants the coast their way. We scale the vehicle and plan to your group.

Can you arrange the island, ferries and accommodation?

Yes — for multi-day private trips we handle the ferries, island stays, cruises, 4WD and accommodation, so the whole trip is seamless. See our where to stay guide for the styles on offer.

Where do private tours depart?

Wherever suits — the Capricorn Coast, Rockhampton or your accommodation; we can also collect fly-in guests from Rockhampton Airport.

How far ahead should I book?

The more notice the better, especially for island stays and peak season — but we’ll always do our best at shorter notice. Get in touch with your dates.
