Experience all that Fitzroy Island has to offer on this spectacular self-guided day trip at this incredible location!
Departing Cairns we’ll take a 45-minute ferry to the Island, and the rest of the day is up to you! We have three time options departing Cairns and 3 returning.
Once on the island you’ll be free to relax, play and explore this remarkable slice of paradise as you please.
There's plenty to do on the Island! You can hire kayaks, snorkel gear and paddle boards. There is also a café and general store so you’ll be set for lunch and snacks to keep you fuelled throughout the day. There is free fish feeding twice a day at the jetty, and a tour of the Turtle Rehabilitation Centre can also be booked at additional cost on the day.
The Fitzroy Island is surrounded by the famous Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and is perfect for snorkelling or diving. The reef system is world heritage listed and is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting the region!
The beaches are safe and sheltered, ideal for swimming with the kids or simply relaxing on the beachside and soaking in the picturesque scenery.
There is plenty to explore on land too with multiple walks through the lush island tropical rainforest.
A brilliant way to explore one of Australia’s iconic scenic destinations, and a fantastic day out that the whole family will love!

Fitzroy Island
The safety/info briefing as we were arriving to the jetty couldn’t be heard from the outside deck, it’s no big deal until something goes wrong. Outside of that it was a fantastic day

Beautiful day trip
Fitzroy island is absolutely stunning and definitely worth a day trip! So glad we booked this! The ferry was very convenient. I just wish a better map was provided on where to go within Marlin Marina while booking.

왕복 표가 그리 비싸지도 않고 저처럼 스노쿨 장비를 빌리지 않으시면 예쁜 섬을 저렴하고 간편하게 왔다갔다 하실 수 있을 거예요!! 섬 볼 건 없지만 깔끔해서 바다랑 트래킹이 정말 만족스러웟어요 그대신 도시락정도 챙겨오시면 더 만족스럽게 보내실 수 있을 것 같아요 완전 추천해요! 혼자 다녀왔는데도 하나도 안 심심하고 너무 즐거웟습니당
