We had a great experience with my family.
Theo did everything possible to ensure we had a great time. As a first timer driving a boat, it was very easy and fun. Boats are all new and well equipped. I recommend this experience and I look forward to go back.
An experience like no other on Woppa!

Such a fun day out on these beaut little boats.
Was very unsure as to whether I would actually go out on the water but after a great briefing from Theo about how easy they were to Operate even for dummies like me😊off I went. A fabulous day out. Sure this will be a highlight for many who visit our beautiful Keppel islands. Thank you Theo!
What a way to explore GKI!!
Theo was very professional, knowledgeable & understanding, you can tell he is passionate about what he does and wants you to have the best experience possible too! Everything went smoothly, we had the best day hiring one of his boats and exploring the beaches. 1000% will definitely be hitting up Theo when we are on GKI again 💯👌🏾
