Fitzroy Island day trip from Cairns
For a completely different reef experience, book a trip to the tropical paradise of Fitzroy Island off the coast of Cairns. Rainforest covered mountains descend to unspoilt coral beaches and the calm sheltered waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Not to be missed.
FULL DAY FITZROY ISLAND
A favourite destination for Cairns locals, Fitzroy Island is 99 per cent lush rainforest, with gorgeous beaches, spectacular walking trails, abundant coral and marine life and plenty of adventure activities.
Take a bush walk to the island’s summit or lighthouse, snorkel straight off the beach or simply sit back and soak up the serenity on the sandy shores of the famous Nudey Beach - voted the best beach in Australia.
You can also check out the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, an organisation that rehabilitates turtles back to health in a special facility on the island.
Relax in our air-conditioned catamaran for this short 45-minute ride the tropical paradise of Fitzroy Island.
