Great price
The ferry was great and Fitzroy island is incredible. I had a wonderful day snorkeling and exploring. It was very nice to do on my own.

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

Relaxing day
Boat was good size, plenty of space, modern and smooth on the water. Crew were friendly. Long enough day to do a few things without being rushed. Once on the island I got a coffee and followed the trail to nudy beach and do some whale spotting. Then explored a few other trails before getting lunch. Then went for a snorkel off a different beach, quite a bit to see if you get the right area. Enough time to get off and change and do some reading before catching the boat back.
