Day cruises includes lunch, water, snorkeling gear, noodles, paddle boards, and we welcome BYO alcohol and light refreshments (soft drinks etc). We are unable to cater for dietary requirements. See our T&Cs for a sample menu which is designed to cover a variety of dietary requirements.
Bring your sunglasses, swimmers, towel, hat and sunscreen and we’ll take care of the rest.
Guests are welcome to bring alcohol in moderation but we ask that this be restricted to beer, wine and premix drinks. No bottled spirits. Glass bottles are allowed but no drinking glasses please. We have large coolers on board with ice for your cold drinks and snacks. Please no hard coolers. Cooler bags are ok. In accordance with safety recommendations in our industry we ask that no alcohol be consumed before snorkelling and that alcohol consumption during the day cruise be in keeping with safe boating and swimming.
Visibility for snorkelling is usually very good in our region but can be impacted by weather conditions and tides so some days will be better than others. Cancellations at the discretion of the operator due to weather constraints or failure to achieve minimum booking numbers (minimum 8 paying adults per trip) will result in a full refund of the guest’s cruise.
Mobility & Accessibility: Boating occurs in an active environment with constant movement, smaller spaces, beach transfers, and requires suitable balance. Please call us on 0438909502 to discuss any mobility issues.

Ollie was so helpful and responsive in the lead-up, taking the time to help me choose the perfect option for our group (which included babies and kids!) and being so flexible and accommodating throughout the planning.
On the day, the whole team was wonderful — patient while getting everyone fitted with gear and completing waivers, and so friendly and professional. Carl skippered our boat and was amazing — informative, engaging, and full of fascinating insights about the island’s history and the current research projects happening there. He really tailored the day to suit us and set such a relaxed, positive tone for the whole experience.
All of our guests were raving about the day, and we honestly couldn’t recommend Funtastic Cruises more highly. Thank you for being such a big part of making our wedding week so special!

Snorkeling was great with lots to see.
It would have been useful to have been told a clearer itinerary for the day and to have been given some history/geography of Great Keppel Island.
Tom and Laureen, the crew members, were great! Big thank you to Laureen for taking pictures of us on this beautiful day 🫶
100% recommend!
A great way to see more of the island than just the main beach. Highly recommended.

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!!
The locations we went to on the island ( secluded beaches were amazing and snorkeling with the turtles was brilliant . The morning tea and lunch was also very good . We would highly recommend. Thanks terry 👍
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
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.
Thanks!!!!
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 ????
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.
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.
The boat is beautiful, and relaxing in the beanbag on the deck, watching the birds and coast line drift by, was just what I needed.
I fully recommend.
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!
The crew are great.. and make us feel welcome.. and the VIEWS!! Sensational!!
A must-do when you visit the Capricorn Coast!
Snorkelling, sailing, beach-coming, white sand, turquoise water, dolphins and laughter! What more could you want from Rosslyn Bay and Great Keppel Island. Highly recommend for a memorable experience ️
