Overview
"Explore the picturesque Fitzroy Island for half day. Snorkel from the beach or walk along the bush tracks to stunning beaches or to the summit. "
This spectacular island is easily accessible from Cairns and features an array of beautiful natural features – such as an immense range of marine life and coral species – that make visiting a dream. Unlike smaller coral cays or sandy islands on the Great Barrier Reef, Fitzroy was once part of mainland Australia. The island is largely untouched and protected as Fitzroy Island National Park, with walking tracks through the rainforest, heathland and open forest to Nudey Beach and the Summit.
A half day tour to Fitzroy Island is perfect for a snorkel and a walk around some of the walking tracks taking you to different parts of the island. If you're feeling energetic, a walk to the summit is worth while but make sure you leave plenty of time to catch your 2pm ferry.
