Great Keppel Island HoneymoonOn Great Keppel Island, chose from 18km of gorgeous white-sand beaches that lie framed between rocky headlands in picturesque coves of clear turquoise water – the perfect spot for a honeymoon or romantic getaway holiday. Things to do and seeIdyllic Great Keppel Island rivals the better-known Whitsunday Islands that lie further north and is perfect for kayaking, snorkelling and swimming. Pick a secluded spot to sunbathe on stunning Two Mile Beach, set between bush-clad rocky headlands on the south coast of the island. Hike scenic bush trails to Lonely Bay on the southeastern shore or explore the coastline by sea kayak or sailing catamaran to find your own secluded white-sand beach. Great Keppel also offers a wide range of activities including sailing, fishing, scuba diving, water skiing, parasailing and skydiving. Tee-off at the local golf course (a seven-hole chip and putt course), take a sunset cruise or ride camels along Putney Beach. AccommodationThe island offers a range of holiday accommodation including the Great Keppel Island Village and the Great Keppel Island Resort (presently undergoing a major renovation). | ||||||||||
