So great. Really worth it. Beautiful tour and staff are great
Such a great day out, wad really worth going. Beautiful resort there also for longer stays. Saw some fish, turtles. Fast service in the restaurant and the food and drinks tasted great. Would definitely return. No lifeguards on this island however for snorkelling
Great tour to a beautiful island with amazing beaches and lots of sea life - perfect for snorkelling.
We had only booked a half-day tour, because the full-day tour was fully booked. Nevertheless, it was a great tour. We have snorkelled at the beautiful beaches and have even seen ray fishes and a turtle beside colourful fish! This island trip is also perfect for families with kids!

Great half-day tour on Fitzroy Island with my family.
Great half-day tour. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We chose this half-day to suit our toddler and it worked out very well. Water was picture-perfect. Easy walk to Nudey Beach and great food and drink in between. Will book again. Thank you!!!!
