Perfect day

Great day at Fitzroy Island boarded our boat and departed Cairns right on time, smooth trip and pleasant staff, spent most of the day snorkelling, saw brown turttles, lots of tropical fish, sea cucumbers, small and giant clams and colourful corals, ended the day with a drink at Roxys Bar before hopping on board our vessel for the return trip to Cairns

Wunderful day at Fitzroy island

We had an absolute beatiful day at Fitzroy. The drive with the ferry was very comfortable and we were on time at Fitzroy. We rented us a sting suit and went snorkelling. There were so beautiful fishes and we also saw a few turtles. After this stunning experience we went on a little hike to nudey beach. On this way we had a few views over the sea, which were unbelievable beautiful. It’s absolutely worth the money and we would highly recommend it.

Had an amazing day. The staff on the boat were really helpful and friendly. They are well trained in all aspects of their work. Fitzroy Island is an Australian GEM 💎 Was my second time going to Fitzroy Island and I just can’t get enough of this pristine island. Just do it 👍🏻
