Excursão de um dia na Ilha Fitzroy saindo de Cairns

The boat ride over is short and not too rough. The island is lovely, especially Nudey beach. Our disappointment was with the guided snorkelling tour with a marine biologist. There was absolutely nothing to see on the trip as the water was murky and there was not much coral. Spent nearly $300 on the guided experience but it was very underwhelming. Guided tours on the outer reef are cheaper and so much better. Wish the operators are more honest about what the guided experience offers

We did the full day. Weather was not the best, rain in the morning and it cleared in the afternoon. Nudey beach has a lot of shells, you will need some type of shoes on the beach. With the weather, snorkeling was not possible, to cloudy. There are public restrooms on the island and good options. Best snorkeling was to the left of the docks when walking to the shore.

The boat to Fitzroy Island was very full. As we approached a crew member said - snorkelling is best on the left. We didn’t know if this meant our left as we approached or left when you were standing on the beach looking at the pier. We went to our left from when we were on the boat - wrong choice. Also the tide was out - which they could’ve told us that it would be best to wait a few hours. So we - 2 people in our 60s stumbled over rocks with our flippers on - scraping our knees when we got in the water and struggled even more to get out. Lucky - we weren’t injured!

It was an amazing excperience, the island was beautiful even with a little hour of rain it looked stunning

Excellent service. From initial booking, we were kept informed of trip details & itinerary. All ran to time. We didn't snorkel but lots did. We did the walk to the Lighthouse & it was as described difficult, some very steep parts. A very enjoyable day out.

A short 45 minute prompt ferry ride from Cairns to the fabulous, postcard perfect Fitzroy Island We snorkled all day in the crystal clear water, swimming with thousands of fish and turtles. Was an absolute dream come true. We loved it so much, we returned 2 days later... This time we took the short but beautiful hike to Nudey Beach which was beyond perfect, had lunch at Foxys Bar (very big portions and well priced) then swam/snorklelled off lunch! Highly recommend the full day (8am until 4pm) trip as time flies in paradise!

We chose Fitzroy Island Adventures to get to Fitzroy Island as they were one of the only boats offering a full day on the Island. We left Cairns at 8.30am and arrived back at 5pm. The ferry was smooth and crew friendly. We included snorkel gear hire in our booking and collected it on the boat. The only small criticism was when the marine biologist talked about the tours she spoke so quickly that I doubt overseas tourists would have understood. But I'd still highly recommend this tour.

Really enjoyed our time on Fitzroy Island. The tour group were really helpful and polite. Because of the rain, visibly wasn't the best, but we were still able to see plenty of life when snorkeling. Would recommend this trip for kids and elderly parents.

The actual island itself is lovely to spend the day at - some good hikes with amazing panoramic views, and a good spot for seeing sea turtles whilst snorkelling (depending on conditions/visibility). Even if you didn’t have snorkelling equipment included, they offered stinger suits for free for anyone that wanted one. So I have no fault with the overall experience! I just think that over $100 for just the transfer is very overpriced.

Had such a fabulous experience on this island, don’t think it matters which travel company you go with. We had incredible weather, destination is spectacular, amazing visibility. We saw a huge variety of fish, turtles, manta ray. Dive shop super helpful, knowledgeable. Not a huge selection of food but part of the charm is its lack of development etc. Don’t both with secret garden walk, the walk to nudey beach might not be your thing if you don’t like lizards etc
