Teuer

Dafür dass man nur schnorchelt sehr teuer. Und ein richtiger Strand mit Sand fehlt auch. Barfuß kann man dort kaum laufen weil überall spitze Steine liegen.

Super schöne Insel!!!

Die Insel ist ein Traum. Zwar kein weißer Sandstrand aber dafür ein super Wanderweg auf den Berg um dann die wunderschöne Aussicht zu genießen und dann eine wirklich großartige Unterwasserwelt. Vielleicht hatte ich auch einfach Glück, gleich 4 Schildkröten und 2 Haie zu sehen. Das einzig negative dass das Boot anstatt 45min doppelt so lang gebraucht hat :( ich weiß leider nicht wodran das lag, es gab keine Auskunft. Dadurch hatte ich 1 1/2 Stunden weniger Zeit auf der Insel, sehr schade.

Fitzroy Island trip

Super tolles Erlebnis. Die Crew war cool. Es ist wirklich paradiesisch und man kann viele Aktivitäten machen wie z.B. Schnorcheln, Tauchen, Kajak fahren, Schwimmen, Wandern oder einfach nur einen Cocktail schlürfen. Fitzroy Island ist ein must-see!
