IโM. ON. A. BOAT. ๐พโ๏ธ
Thatโs right, hoomans โ this pup set sail with Keppel Konnections and it was one heck of a salty sea dog adventure! I rode up top on the open deck with the wind in my fur, tail wagging, and Luna by my side. ๐๐จ
Now, full disclosure โ the trip over was a bit splashy (Luna ended up looking like a drowned rat, and not in a cute way ๐), but we powered through.
As doggos, weโre not allowed inside the cabin (understandable โ we bring the party), so we chilled outside and held on tight.
But paws up to the amazing crew โ one of the staff came over mid-voyage to give me a cuddle (instant BFF ๐).
Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and clearly used to having VIPs (Very Important Pups) on board.


๐ค Human Highlights
Keppel Konnections made our day trip to Great Keppel Island a breeze.
Booking was quick and easy, there was ample parking right at the Keppel Bay Marina, and the check-in process was relatively seamless.
We bundled our trip as part of a package that included return ferry tickets and a delicious lunch at the Hideaway once we got to the island โ super convenient and great value.
The boat trip itself was scenic and fun, giving us a beautiful view of the Capricorn Coast as we zipped across to the island.
Whether youโre looking to spend a day on the beach or enjoy a relaxed island lunch, Keppel Konnections is an ideal dog-friendly travel option for those exploring Yeppoon, Great Keppel Island and its stunning surrounds. ๐๏ธ๐พ

Pro Tip
Bring a towel for splashy days, and book the lunch package โ it makes island adventuring that much smoother!
