“ A fantastic family day out on the Great Barrier Reef. Fitzroy Island is very family friendly with all sorts of adventures. Weather wasn’t the best but there was some sun and we still managed to have a great day. Long wait for food at the restaurant however. Luckily we had packed our own.
Funny and kind staff. We enjoyed on the boat and relax on the beach. I would like to recommend that. My kids are a little bit afraid of swimming on the sea but it is good experience for them. Feed fish time is good for kids. I hope I can come back next time.
10 months agoMy partner and I had an amazing experience at Fitzroy Island. The staff were great and our marine biologist was very knowledgeable of the island. Will definitely go back again!

10 months agoA great day out. Pleasant crossing, friendly staff and very attentive. Marine biologist on board with information regarding the best places to snorkel. Comfortable air-conditioned boat. Equipment hire available. We hired flippers and got a refund when handed them back in. Loved Fitzroy Island.
11 months agoEasy booking process on mobile. Parking near boat. Crew were available with information. Plenty time to explore and snorkel. Bar with beach view. Wear good shoes for walking. Glass bottom boat at extra cost. Unfortunately, the coral was disappointing no colour and sparse. Very few fish.
11 months agoWe had a lovely day at Fitzroy Island! Travelling with a toddler and a baby wasn’t an issue. The boat ride over was great! The staff on board were also great. On the island, we set up under a tree and took turns watching the kids while the others did some snorkelling. Snorkelling off shore was great! The glass bottom boat was okay but not worth the money, you can see the same coral just by snorkelling. We had lunch at Foxys bar, just standard pub food, nothing exciting and not much variety but fine overall. Fitzroy Island is beautiful and I’d highly recommend the day trip. Green Island I feel is the better island for children.

1 year agoThis was one of our favourite things we have done in Cairns, the kids (3 and 1) absolutely loved it and the croc river cruise was so fun! The guide knew his stuff and I actually learned quite a lot, there was a good selection of animals and it was easy to walk around.
1 year agoGreat cruise over to the island. Plenty of time to enjoy the sun, sand and snorkeling. Settled seas as we went over, detailed explanations of the island and the activities available. You could rent snorkeling equipment on the boat or at the island. Food and drinks are also available on the island. Highly rate this adventure.
1 year agoIts a lovely place to visit. Nice, quiet, and peaceful place to relax. Anyone who wants to do snorkeling or scuba diving is the best place to go. Anyone who is afraid of water can also have an inside view of the water through a glass bottom boat tour. There is also an island view hotel to stay.
