Journey through the Capricorn Coast - Suggested Itinerary

Arrive at Rockhampton Airport, collect your rental car, and drive to Yeppoon to check into your accommodation. Enjoy lunch by the waterfront, then spend the afternoon swimming at Yeppoon Lagoon. Wander through Yeppoon’s charming CBD before unwinding with a laid-back beachfront dinner.

Begin your day in Yeppoon and journey inland to the spectacular Capricorn Caves for the 10am tour, where ancient limestone formations and the awe-inspiring Cathedral Cave set the stage for an unforgettable underground experience. After exploring the caves, head back toward the coast to visit the iconic Singing Ship in Emu Park. Perched above the ocean, this wind-powered monument pays tribute to Captain Cook and offers sweeping views of Keppel Bay - the perfect spot to reflect and snap a few photos before returning to Yeppoon.

Head to Keppel Bay Marina for lunch before checking in for your ferry transfer to Great Keppel Island. Settle into your accommodation at Great Keppel Island Hideaway, then unwind with dinner at the Hideaway Bistro and relax beneath the stars.

Explore the underwater beauty of the Southern Great Barrier Reef by stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, or swimming through crystal-clear waters teeming with diverse subtropical marine life.

After breakfast, hop on the early ferry back to the mainland and enjoy a scenic drive to the Byfield Rainforest - a serene escape into lush, tropical wilderness. Spend your day wandering shaded forest trails, spotting native wildlife, and taking a refreshing dip in crystal-clear creeks like Upper Stony. Whether you're relaxing beneath towering palms or browsing handcrafted goods in the charming Byfield township, this day trip offers the perfect blend of adventure, tranquillity, and local culture.

Head back to Yeppoon for dinner, we recommend Vue Yeppoon.
