Night 1 – Arrive & Ease Into Coastal Life
Stay: Check into a comfortable coastal retreat in Yeppoon, perfectly positioned for ocean views and salty breezes.
Bookable Experience:
Afternoon: Begin your trip with a Self-Guided Brewery Tour & Tasting Paddle at Crimson Finch — Located on Yeppoon’s beachfront, Crimson Finch offers a relaxed way to sample local craft beer. Enjoy a tasting paddle of four brews and follow a quick self-guided tour that shares the stories and flavours behind each one. It’s an easy, social experience — best enjoyed as the sun sets over the Capricorn Coast.
Dinner: Wander to Vue Wine Bar & Restaurant, known for its laid-back atmosphere, local seafood, and welcoming service — the ideal first night on the Capricorn Coast. Bookings Essential.
Day 2 – Sail, Snorkel & Dine by the Marina
Bookable Experience:
Full Day Tour : Embark on the Funtastic Cruises Full-Day Keppel Islands Sailing Adventure, a small-group experience exploring the islands of the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Snorkel coral reefs, stroll secluded beaches, and unwind on deck as you sail through crystal-clear waters.
Evening: Return to shore and enjoy dinner at The Waterline Restaurant at Keppel Bay Marina, where nautical views and friendly hospitality make for a memorable night out.
Day 3 – Slow Mornings & Underground Adventures
Morning: Start your day with coffee and breakfast at The Alley Yeppoon or Lure Living, two popular local cafés. Then spend a few relaxed hours by the Yeppoon Lagoon, soaking in panoramic views of the Keppel Islands.
Bookable Experience:
Midday: Discover one of Central Queensland’s most fascinating natural wonders on the Capricorn Caves Adventure Tour, a guided eco-adventure through ancient limestone chambers formed beneath a prehistoric coral reef. As you navigate narrow passageways and climb into hidden caverns, your guide reveals stories of geology, fossils, and the fragile ecosystems that make this cave system so unique. Or if you would prefer lighter adventure, opt for the Cathedral Cave Tour.
Golden Hour: After the tour, freshen up utilising the facilities at The Capricorn Caves and continue to Mount Archer National Park for a sunset picnic with sweeping views across the Fitzroy River. Wander along the Nurim Circuit Skywalk, a spectacular 500-metre elevated walkway that extends out from the mountain’s edge — the perfect vantage point to watch the sky ignite in colour as day turns to night.
Optional Evening Tour (BOOKABLE DIRECT): Join a Time Safaris Walking Tour in Rockhampton — an atmospheric evening stroll where storytelling brings local history and mystery to life.
Day 4 – Turtles, Forest Drives & Farewell Lunch
Early Morning: Take an early walk along the Bluff Point Walking Track (Kemp Beach) in Capricorn Coast National Park. This 2.3 km return track follows a scenic ridge with stunning ocean views and multiple lookouts where you can often spot turtles gliding below the headland and seabirds soaring overhead.
Late Morning: Enjoy a self-drive adventure north to Byfield National Park, about 40 minutes from Yeppoon. The drive winds through lush pine forest and subtropical rainforest — a landscape that feels remote yet wonderfully accessible. Don’t miss a refreshing dip at one of Byfield’s freshwater swimming holes, such as Water Park Creek or Upper Stony. It’s nature’s playground — pure and peaceful.

Late Lunch: Wrap up your trip with brunch at Ofishal Beach Club on the Yeppoon Esplanade — ocean views, great wines, and the perfect send-off before heading home.
