Tour Description
With departures from Marlin Marina’s E Finger at 7:30 am (please arrive at 7 am to check in), you’ll hop aboard the amazing mono hull boat and begin your 45-minute journey towards Fitzroy Island, taking in the beautiful scenery along the way.
Once you arrive at Fitzroy Island, you'll have the chance to explore the idyllic 339-hectare island, with white sanded beaches, interior rainforests and a life-filled fringing coral reef that forms part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. With most of the island covered in lush tropical rainforest, you could get lost for hours, traversing the walking tracks that wind their way through stunning landscapes, along the beaches or to the historic east end lighthouse.
To add some more fun to the mix, you can hire equipment from the Fitzroy Island Dive Adventure Centre and go snorkelling, diving, try the coral viewing kayaks and more. Then, fuel up by buying a delicious lunch at the resort café, or grab some take away and find a blissful little nook to enjoy your meal. At the end of the day, you’ll depart around 3:30 pm and head back to Cairns, arriving at the Cairns Marina at approximately 4:30 pm.
