Overview

"Return ferry plus your choice of snorkel gear or a glass bottom boat tour. Discover the reef or stay dry and spot marine life from above—your island, your way. "

Our "Island Essentials" package is a great choice for those wanting a little more from their Fitzroy Island experience while still keeping things relaxed and flexible. This tour includes return ferry transfers from Cairns and 4.5 hours of island time, plus your choice of snorkel gear hire or a glass bottom boat tour.

Once you arrive at Fitzroy Island, you’ll be welcomed by its pristine beaches, tropical rainforest, and fringing reef. With 4.5 hours to spend, you’ll have ample time to enjoy a mix of activity and relaxation. Choose snorkel gear and explore the vibrant coral gardens just off the beach, spotting colourful fish and marine life in their natural habitat. Alternatively, stay dry while still experiencing the reef with a glass bottom boat tour led by knowledgeable crew who highlight key marine features and wildlife.

Outside your included activity, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy. Lounge on the beach, take a rainforest walk, or grab a bite at the island café. Trails like the Secret Garden or Lighthouse Road offer unique glimpses into the island’s diverse flora and fauna.

"Island Essentials" strikes the perfect balance between structure and spontaneity—ideal for travellers who want to do a little more, but still enjoy the freedom of choice.
