Fitzroy Island, located about 45 minutes by ferry from Cairns in Queensland, Australia, is a stunning tropical paradise that offers an ideal setting for a day tour. Known for its lush rainforests, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs, Fitzroy Island provides a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for visitors.
Nudey Beach on Fitzroy Island is a breathtaking highlight of any day tour, celebrated for its unique coral shoreline. The beach is covered in natural coral fragments, creating a striking white landscape that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant turquoise waters. While the coral gives the beach a rugged texture, it adds to its raw, untouched charm. The clear, shallow waters are perfect for snorkeling, with colorful coral reefs and marine life just offshore. Sturdy water shoes are recommended for exploring the shoreline comfortably. Nudey Beach’s distinctive character and natural beauty make it a must-visit destination, offering a truly unforgettable experience.
I paid extra for the ferry to have Snorkeling equipment included, nothing came with it. I had to purchase on the island. Waves were rough, 6 people were throwing up from sea sickness. Out of the ferry control but just keep in mind if you get sea sickness.
Cafe on Island extortionatly expensive Great anorkling saw lots of fish, a turtle, longish and barracudas
The snorkeling itself was enjoyable the cruise over on the Fitzroy Flyer was a bit disappointing. Most of the crew came across as a bit unprofessional I expected more (especially one fella who had his hood on the whole time, laying around did nothing and the person steering had her feet up and on her phone, the person on the microphone was good.
It's a beautiful island where was not crowded. We were lucky to swim with a sea turtle while snorkeling.
The transfer to and from the island on Fitzroy Flyer was great! Snorkling equipment was easy to obtain and use but the reef is horrible. Nearly no color left at all. Despite that, we did see several sea turtles, some fish, and giant clams. We walked the moderate intensity trek to Nudey beach, which was lovely. Be sure to wear decent shoes as there’s a lot of coral. Make sure to bring a towel if you aren’t staying at the resort as there is no where to get one. The food at the grill was really good!
It was pouring rain in the morning, but it didn't worry us at all. Saw turtles and loads of fish. No change room after 4pm.
Great Island to see sea turtles and fish! The beach is very short and all coral so not very good if you want to just get sun.
Disappointing experience. I give 2 stars only for the ferry because it was on time, the rest was very disappointing. Snorkeling equipment was included in the ticket, but as soon as you arrive at the facility, you have to pay extra to get a wetsuit. The island is nice but has nothing to do with the tour. I recommend buying only and exclusively the ferry ticket, the rest is all disappointing
