Plan a visit to the tropical haven of Fitzroy Island off the coast of Cairns for a totally different reef experience. Mountains covered in rain forest slant down to pristine coral beaches and the Great Barrier Reef’s tranquil, protected seas.
The Fitzroy Island 1 day return ferry makes this island a popular vacation spot for both locals and tourists in Cairns. The island is made up entirely of lush rainforest, and boasts stunning beaches and amazing hiking trails. There is also an abundance of coral and marine life, and it offers a wide range of adventure sports.
Sunlover offers a daily full-day Fitzroy Island experience that includes round-trip ferry travel to the island and the option to rent snorkelling gear for an additional fee. You may snorkel just off the beach and see incredible marine life and sea turtles, or you can just relax on the secluded shores of the well-known Nudey Beach, which has been named the best beach in Australia.
For lunch or a drink, Foxy’s Bar is available every day. You may also visit the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Center or go on a bush walk to the island’s top or lighthouse.
The 45-minute trip in the air-conditioned catamaran of Sunlover will take you to this tropical paradise.
