Yeppoon is about 40 km northeast of Rockhampton by road. Rockhampton has the nearest airport, long-distance bus stops, and rail services on the Queensland coast line. From Rockhampton, local buses and taxis run to Yeppoon, but a car makes the coast and national park stops much easier.
Ferries for Great Keppel Island leave from Rosslyn Bay, a short drive south of central Yeppoon.
