&nbsp;

On this Fitzroy Island Day Tour, you&#39;ll discover&nbsp;the quickest and most effective way to get to beautiful island is by ferry transfers from Cairns.

&nbsp;

After approximately 45 minutes of travel, you&#39;ll arrive at Fitzroy Island where you&#39;ll have up to 6 hours to explore its&nbsp;beautiful offerings. While here, you&#39;ll have the option to take&nbsp;part in a range of activities, including snorkelling, glass-bottom boat tours, kayaking, island adventures and more for an additional cost.&nbsp;Unlike smaller coral cays or sandy islands on the Great Barrier Reef, Fitzroy was once part of mainland Australia, with Fitzroy National Park&nbsp;largely untouched and protected. Enjoy making the most of&nbsp;walking tracks through the rainforest, heathland and open forest to&nbsp;the Summit and Nudey Beach (one of the best beaches in Australia).&nbsp;

 
The tour departs at 8:30am and 10:45am and offers a full day of fun&nbsp;at one of Cairns&#39; most popular and accessible Great Barrier Reef islands!

Fitzroy Island

chill and releax tour

Nice island with good coral

There is a lot to do and see on Fitzroy. Snorkelling, glass bottom boat tours, beaches and hikes! 
The staff were friendly and helpful and I did the glass bottom boat tour which was very informative. Then stopped at the bar for lunch and a drink. And finished the trip by exploring the walking trails it’s a bit of a mission to the top but well worth it such a beautiful place!
