Fitzroy Island is one of the most pristine islands on the Great Barrier Reef, situated just 18.5 miles (30 km) from Cairns. The surrounding ocean and reef are protected as a Marine National Park, brimming with turtles, clownfish, and both hard and soft corals, offering an exceptional snorkeling experience right off the beach.

Your day starts with check-in at the Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns from 8:15 am for the Fitzroy Island high-speed ferry departing at 9 am. Keep an eye out for dolphins and other marine life during the 45-minute crossing or simply relax inside the cabin.

On Fitzroy Island, you can spend the day swimming and relaxing on the beach. For those who enjoy exploring on foot, the island boasts excellent hiking trails that wind through the rainforest and along the coast. The underwater world is equally captivating, with a plethora of colorful fish and coral visible while snorkeling. Marvel at the rainbow hues of the parrotfish, watch clownfish darting in and out of anemones, and see how many other marine creatures you can spot in the Great Barrier Reef’s wonderland.
