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.
Great day out and about. Would recommend a visit to Fiitzroy Island to anyone heading to Cairns!
Excellent. Better snorkelling than the boat trips I did right from shore. Good amenities as well. Went twice during my stay
Perfect piece of paradise! Easy to get to. Wouldnt recommrnd for snorkelling because they were mostly dead corals.

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.
