GREAT BARRIER REEF

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.

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.
