Experience the Capricorn Coast from the Comfort of Home

As governments across the world implement social distancing in the efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19, operators on the Capricorn Coast, just a short drive from Rockhampton, are offering up some of our signature experiences virtually. While regular travel may be off the cards for the foreseeable future, virtual escapism is open to everyone with an internet connection.

Here are some places to take a tour – without leaving the couch.

Pumpkin Island - take a virtual tour
Catering to only 34 guess, social distancing is not a new concept to Pumpkin Island. You can even rent the whole island to yourself! Pumpkin Island is fortunate to be close to the mainland to offer a quick getaway, yet ultimate seclusion with very few guests. This allows safe social distancing whilst enjoying fresh air, beautiful nature and your own self-contained cottage with minimal interaction with other guests or staff, if you so wish.

Capricorn Caves - take a virtual tour
The popular Cathedral Cave tour has something for everyone! Showcasing spectacular caves, this walk leaves you with lasting memories of ancient geological history, early explorers, the wonders of wildlife and special cave acoustics. Leave the caves through the Zig Zag passage and suspension bridge, and finish with a sense of adventure.

Keppel Bay Marina - take a virtual tour
Located at the gateway to the Keppel Group of Islands; Keppel Bay Marina is the friendliest and largest marina in Northern Australia. Make your holiday complete with an adventure to Keppel Bay Marina on your way to The Keppel Islands!

Keppel Kraken - take a virtual tour
This is a water play feature quite unlike any other. With a mythical sea creature centrepiece and set against the spectacular backdrop of Keppel Bay, it's the perfect place to soak up some sunshine on the beautiful Capricorn Coast.

Singing Ship - take a virtual tour
Set against a spectacular coastal vista of blue seas and with Great Keppel Island in the distance, the Singing Ship at Emu Park is a majestic monument that commemorates the area's legacy of the historical explorations of Captain James Cook, who discovered this bay in May 1770.

The Centenary of Anzac Memorial Walk - take a virtual tour
The reflective memorial boardwalk and its gateway gallery entry are the focal point to this thought-provoking walk. The walkway is an emotional, reflective experience and provides a timeline of WW1's many major battles of war.

Villa Mar Colina - take a virtual tour
Set high on Bluff Point in Yeppoon, boasting stunning views across Keppel Bay, long sandy beaches and the Keppel Isles. Villa Mar Colina is just a short walk to Yeppoon's Central Business District where you will find great restaurants, plenty of shopping and access to Yeppoon's main beach.
