Absolutely beautiful

Amazing views, beautiful places to snorkel, we saw so much coral and marine life such as fish, sting rays, and harmless jelly fish.

The trip was fabulous

The trip was fabulous! The captain of the boat was hilarious while giving some safety instructions and information. The staffs were all very helpful and friendly. Saw a turtle during snorkeling. The tour guide on the Glass bottom boat is very informative as well as knowledgeable; gave us some good spots to snorkel. And of course the island itself is paradise on earth. Overall a great trip!

What you can expect

For the quickest and most effective way to get to the beautiful, unspoiled Fitzroy Island, this option includes ferry transfers from Cairns that is not only an efficient way to get "from A to B" but makes for a spectacular tour in itself! Heading out from the Cairns Marina, you'll board a comfortable vessel and cruise out across the pristine reef waters towards the wonderful shores of Fitzroy Island on a journey that takes roughly 45 minutes. Once on Fitzroy Island, you'll have five hours to explore its many stunning natural offerings, taking part in a range of activities on both land and water including snorkelling, glass bottom boat tours, kayaking, island adventures and much more.

Departing at 8:30am and 10:45am, this Fitzroy Island ferry tour offers a full day of enjoyment at one of Cairns' most popular and accessible Great Barrier Reef areas without breaking the budget. So if you're wanting to get an amazing reef experience without committing too much time or money, be sure to book online today.

Pleasantly surprised.

I was due to go on this trip on 7 March, but unfortunately I had a fall the day before and injured my ankle, leaving me unable to walk. I rang the company late on 6 March to cancel my booking, expecting to lose my money. However I was pleasantly surprised when Peter allowed me a credit against another booking within the next two months. That sort of service casts your company in a very positive light, and I will be reviewing the full trip when I actually undertake it in April.

Fantastic day, loved the snorkelling and the boat trip.

Recommend walking around to Nudey Beach to go snorkelling rather than where the boat arrives. We brought our own lunch and carried it rather than relying on the included lunch, which was convenient when we wanted to eat as we didn't have to walk back to the boat.
