Swim Around Keppel

Home to 17 pristine beaches, coral reefs, and an abundance of island and marine life, Great Keppel Island is truly a place like no other. SwimAroundKeppel (SAK) features a circumnavigation island swim in tropical waters and covers a total distance of 20 kilometres – one of Australia’s longest swimming marathons. SAK 2025 will be a two-day event including the signature 20-kilometre circumnavigation marathon swim on day 2. Leading into the signature swim, day 1 festivities will include guided bush walks, a family scavenger hunt, kayaking, snorkelling and an afternoon concert.

The Presentation and After Party will be held at the GKI Hideaway Island Bar and Bistro on the evening of the 20-kilometre swim. Late boat departure on the day is available. Entry Cost All tickets $20
