There’s nothing like a beautiful sunset from a tropical island! With their vast array of stunning natural colours, the Keppel Islands & Capricorn Coast are the perfect backdrop for your special evening. Whether you’re looking for a romantic afternoon, or just want to spend some quality time with friends, family or a memorable event, our island sunset cruise is a truly spectacular way to unwind.
Our cruises depart daily from the Keppel Bay Marina (Great Keppel Island pickups available on request) at various times depending on the time of sunset and run for approximately 2 hours which is plenty of time for you to take in the breathtaking views of the Keppels. We may even get a swim in before the sun sets! Bookings essential. Children aged 2-11 years old.
When you step on board our Kraken fast boat, you’ll be greeted by our friendly & professional crew who are local experts and will share the sites and secret places only the locals know! Your journey to a secluded island beach on one of the many Keppel Islands will take just 30 comfortable minutes. As we step onto a secluded tropical island beach you can explore your surrounds, or take a quick swim before we serve a complimentary sparkling glass of Champagne and a delicious Mezz Deli Cheese Platter all served from the beach, while you spend time relaxing and enjoying the stunning views.

We had the best day with Funtastic cruises! Felt like such a privilege to be able to experience snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, supping and chilling on the deck for the whole day ☀️
Tom and Laureen, the crew members, were great! Big thank you to Laureen for taking pictures of us on this beautiful day 🫶
100% recommend!

Fantastic day out. Snorkeling was amazing. Ample food, didn’t need snacks. Felt like a day out with friends rather than a commercial activity. Carl, Tom & Lauren were a great crew. Thanks so much.

A fabulous day out on the water and around beautiful Keppel Islands. The crew were excellent, just enough information, friendly and helpful. We snorkeled in 3 different spots
A great way to see more of the island than just the main beach. Highly recommended.

We had such an awesome day with Keith, Mia and Tony! The crew were so helpful and accommodating! We were looked after so well. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the day and the only criticism we have is that the food quality could have been better. (Not the crew’s fault obviously). Sensational spots, the crew knew the best beaches and snorkeling spots and we felt very spoilt!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Kristy. I'm really glad to hear you had a great time on WopPa, our Sailing Catamaran.

We're sorry the day didn't meet your expectations. The sails go up more often than not but there's a number of reasons we may not have been able to. We try to cater to all guests on board and their interests including snorkelling beach walking as well as managing time too. I can't see which day you're referring to so can't comment for certain but please reach out to us directly on funtasticcruises@outlook.com if you'd like and we'd be happy to talk more about your experience and where we can improve. Thanks for taking to the time provide feedback. It all helps us to improve the experience.

The Kraken Adventure felt just like that for all the right reasons. From the roller-coaster ride to GKI (due to the strong Easterly breeze) to the quiet bays we snorkelled at.
Shoes not required.
Suitable to almost everyone. We had ages 10-over50. Singles, couples, travellers, families.
Snorkelling gear supplied - as well as pool noodles for snorkelling security or just floating about.
SUP onboard too.
Toilet.
Plenty of shade.
Great sized esky for everyone to add their own cold drinks to.
Food was tasty and suitable. On our day it was watermelon and banana bread for morning tea after the first snorkelling, then wraps, fruit, veggie sticks, dip, biscuits and prawns for lunch after the second snorkel.
Not too small to feel crazy, but small enough to not feel crowded at anytime.
Chris and Mia were great hosts. I felt very confident having them in charge.
The Funtastic Cruises meeting point was easy to find.
The catamaran option looks great, but I'm happy that we did the Kraken Adventure instead.
We felt so lucky to have snorkelled with turtles and other marine life and to been able to experience GKI.
Don't forget waterproof camera!!

Our experience with Funtastic Cruises was really positive. We chose to go on their catamaran snorkelling tour. Communication was great throughout the booking process and any changes were communicated to us promptly. Once on the water, we enjoyed an excellent day out sailing, snorkelling and even saw some whales. It was quite a small group so pretty relaxing sail and able to lounge around on deck and chat until we got to our snorkelling destinations. All equipment was supplied and the food provided for morning tea and lunch was delicious. The staff were very friendly and informative and really looked after us to make sure we had an excellent time.

We had a great time on the sunset trip to and along Keppel Island with bubbly and shared antipasto platters. Lots of photos of a beautiful sunset views over the water towards the Yeppoon. Fortunate enough to have calm waters as well. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great Day out on the water around the Keppel Islands. Brandon and Frieda (crew on the Cat)
looked after our every need and tailored the day to the people on board rather than dictating the tour. Morning Tea and Lunch was freshly prepared and delicious. Cannot fault the care and hospitality of these two in providing a great day out

We are Yeppoon locals but wanted to show off our islands to some visitors from Sydney. We booked a day out on the Kraken so we could explore a few different beaches, snorkel and enjoy the island scenery.
The day started with a coffee at the marina while we waited to board. The boat was awesome with comfy seats, plenty of room and was fast and stable. There is even a roomy toilet room on board, how they fitted that in I don’t know.
We visited 3 main locations to swim, snorkel and paddle board. All the gear was supplied. There was lots of fresh fruit and a tasty lunch of wraps, prawns and veges with dip.
It was a great way to see more of the island as we cruised slowly past beaches and headlands of interest. We saw rays, turtles, dolphins, fish and some pretty good coral.
All in all a good day out with an awesome boat and friendly helpful crew, Steve & Angela. Thanks a lot guys for a really enjoyable adventure. If you need a tour guide let me know haha.

They avoided the showers of rain and showed us some of the most beautiful spots to snorkel. Lunch on the beach was beautiful and we all had the best time! Thanks legends ????✨️

Funtastic Cruises is by far the best operator for an amazing day out to GKI!
The day (almost 2 months ago) was a cloudless day, full of sunshine and a calm ocean. We were lucky enough to spot whales from the boat which was very cool and manta's during the snorkeling.
Combined with the great staff (Jaida & Dide), the delicious fresh food and our itinarary, we had a day to never forget.
10/10 would go again ????

Absolutely recommend this experience. Chartered for 11 people to Celebrate my son and daughter in law’s 2 year anniversary.
From first contact through to end of cruise day, these guys are professional.
Quick response to enquiries, greeted us on time and made us feel welcome.
Lunch and snacks provided was amazing.
Excellent knowledge of how to avoid rough swells.
Very reasonably priced.
Loved it, loved it.
Well done all.

Absolute worst experience.
After booking with them (via Get Your Guide) throughout the week we were asked by the operator two days out if we could move our booking, which we couldn't. They then told us not to worry as they had found someone to handle the trip.
Then, the morning of we get notified by text message at 6:30am that the entire day was cancelled.
Upon asking for a refund they stopped responding so we have to go via Get Your Guide for a refund as the Operator's didn't tell them they cancelled the trip.
So, they messed up our booking, screwed us around then flat out cancelled the morning of - but didn't tell the booking agency - so now we have to prove to Get Your Guide that they cancelled.
Find a more reliable company. Save yourself the pain.

Have been on a Funtastic cruise multiple times and have never been disappointed.
10/10 would highly recommend. The service and the crew are always great, the boats are new, clean and comfortable and with the added bonus of spotting whales or dolphins while on the water it’s a guaranteed good time!

Great guides to look after us and have a fun time. Beautiful place, and very exciting.
The only reason why it wasn't 5 stars was because it was just so dang squishy. There were 11 in our family, plus two other couples (one who had a baby), the captain and the "skipper". That's 18 people on a yacht. Good thing the snorkling and experience made up for it.
Oh, and if you want to enjoy yourself I wouldn't bring young kids. 4-5 years would be do-able....but still not relaxing.
Good memories had for us and the kids! (So glad I didn't bring the toddler!!!)
The guides were very professional and helpful. There was even a couple who couldn't swim but they made a way to make it happen.
One partner would go snorkling using a lifesaving ring while the other would follow closely being ferried in the binghy. Also while holding the baby with an umbrella.That way it was both safe and they were able to enjoy each other's company. So kudos to the guides!
