CAIRNS TOURS

The half-day Fitzroy Island cruise offers a quick yet memorable escape to one of Australia’s most beautiful tropical islands. In just 45 minutes from Cairns, you’ll arrive at Fitzroy Island, where you can swim, snorkel, or simply unwind on the pristine beaches. With over two hours to explore, this half-day experience allows you to take in the island’s natural beauty, hike through the rainforest, or upgrade your experience with a glass-bottom boat tour or snorkel safari. Opt for a freshly prepared picnic lunch and snorkel gear to make the most of your time on the island and see the colorful marine life up close. The island’s fringing coral reefs, particularly around Welcome Bay and Nudey Beach, are home to vibrant coral formations, tropical fish, and occasional sightings of sea turtles. If you're feeling adventurous, the optional snorkel safari, led by a marine biologist, provides exclusive access to coral-rich areas. Alternatively, the glass-bottom boat tour offers a chance to witness the underwater world while staying dry. This half-day trip is perfect for those short on time but eager to experience the beauty of Fitzroy Island and the Great Barrier Reef.
