My ticket to GKI only cost $85 including lunch at the Great Keppel Island Hideaway and snorkelling gear hire. Put this island on your list of places to visit today!!

Have you ever had an island as AMAZING as this to yourself? And actually wanted to get in the water with sharks? 😅
The place has to been seen to be believed.
@@markemerson-vickary347 absolutely!
Haha, mate, sharks are the main reason I WANT to get in the water. We only have so many wobbegongs, PJs, horn crested, duskies, nurses etc. in Sydney that it's always nice to get away to the tropics to see some reef sharks or shovelnose rays. There's a decent selection of other rays too in Sydney, just check out some of my videos ;)
@@buggersofoz yewwww, sharks rule! We are so lucky to have such a diversity of species here in Australia!
Excellent video on a paradise island .
Such a beautiful spot!
Forget the people! You had all the love from the natural world, sharks, turtles, rays, so great to see and can't wait to explore this place when we get back to Aus. Thanks for inspiring JJ
Thanks mate! It's hard not to draw inspiration from a place so epic!
GDAY MATE! Thanks for taking me back home for a few minutes 😊 I grew up in Sydney but lived in Cairns for 2 years so it was SO lovely to come back. That island looks incredible - the beaches are unreal 😍 you're so much fun to watch and your video is so polished! we're currently snorkelling in Mexico but those reef rays are so awesome!! and the fact that they're going to record the reef shark is 🔥 hello David Attenborough!! Thanks so much for this video JJ - it was awesome. Can't wait to watch more 🙌
Thanks so much for your kind words legends! It's awesome to find some like minded travellers to share these moments with on this platform! Can't wait to see what Mexico has on store for you! 😁
@@JJEmersonWildlife You’re so welcome ☺️ Yes! So awesome to find fellow travellers - we hope to meet you on the road one day!!
Going to Great Keppel Island in a week! Even more excited after seeing this video.
That's awesome! I hope you have the best time! Are you camping or doing a day trip? 😁
Hey Cuz. A beautiful spot that bought back many great memories for me. I lived and worked there in the late 80s. Many days spent on fisherman's beach. I enjoyed watching you enjoy the place. Good job mate.
That's awesome Mark, I didn't know you lived there!! Must have been a pretty amazing time!! Thanks for watching =)
Looks like paradaise. Extremely awesome experience u have gathered . Enjoy every moment of the life. Thank u for sharing with us... 😊
Thank you so much for your kind comment!! That's what this channel is about, experiencing the world and living life to the fullest!
Absolutely unreal mate, a tropical paradise all to yourself! I guess the nudists were shy and didn't want to be on camera... good thing the reef sharks weren't! Seeing wildlife is one thing, but contributing to a viable bit of citizen science is another thing altogether, great stuff. I can't wait to finally get out and explore properly soon, we're hunkering down for winter here in the states so your videos are gonna be my escape for a while. Where do you get your music by the way? Is it copyright free? Great stuff!

Thanks guys, yeah I always prefer to get wildlife on film than people... haha. I've got the whole Northern Territory series coming up so I hope that helps tide you over during winter!! Also, I get my music from either Epidemic Sound or Music Bed. It is a monthly subscription ($20 per month ish) and is copyright free!
The view of the beach look beautiful! The turtle is very cute :)
A cute little hawksbill turtle! ❤🐢
This video is amazing!
Been to yepoon but never across to Keppel...looks beautiful and omg that turtle, what a rush that'd be
Always amazing when a shark or turtle emerges from the blue!!
I’m keen as to see Great Keppell! Thanks for your vid! I’ll defs be trying to get there over the Xmas break now! 😍 Subbed!
Thanks for watching and subbing! 😁🙏 I hope you make it there, you'll have the best time!
Great video mate! I'd love more underwater footage, but I'm also keen to check out the rest of your roadtrip. We're from Sydney, so the only options to visit the Capricorn coast are connecting flights in Brissie. We're thinking of driving to visit some friends in Brissie and making an island-hopping road trip, maybe with 3 nights on Heron Island, 1-2 on Great Keppel or just a day Trip to Keppel and checking out other destinations... The only downside would be a looong way back and one way rental would need to be Brissie to Townsville, so doesn't make much sense too...
Maybe check out some closer islands instead like Stradbroke or Fraser?
This Place is sooo coooool
The coolest!! Thanks for watching and subscribing 😁
Invite me next time please!!!
🐞How’s the beachcombing? Are there shells to collect?
Unsure, I tend to leave the shells where they are!
What time for year did you go, if I may ask?
I went during winter!
What camera do you use??
This vlog was filmed with a Nikon Z6 II, gopro hero 7 and dji mavic air.
I went there at a time when a "drone" was the noise your girlfriend did when unhappy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
