Awesome experience.
Awesome experience. We did the ‘Best of Fitzroy Island’ package which included the return ferry from Cairns to Fitzroy Island. A glass bottom boat tour along with snorkeling (including equipment hire) and a very substantial lunch box. The ferry is extremely comfortable and has the option of sitting inside and outside. We traveled inside where it was very cool and comfy. The glass bottom boat tour was fantastic and Hannah our skipper on that trip was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. After the glass bottom tour we headed up to Foxy’s to grab our included lunch boxes which were full of delicious food including a chicken and salad baguette as well as a muffin and other fresh fruit and salads. After lunch we were free to snorkel to our hearts content. I suggest heading left along the beach toward ‘White Rock’ where the beach is a bit more sandy and you can find a nice shady spot. The snorkeling was awesome and there was an abundance of sea life with countless species of fish snd corals not to far off the beach. We were very lucky to come across some sea turtles whilst snorkeling and to got to spend a good amount of time with them whilst they went about their day 😊 All in all a wonderful day out!!
The staff were magnificent. Friendly, courteous and helpful. Thank you so much Sunlover - we will be back!
We took a trip to Moore Reef with the family in December and it was the highlight of the school holidays! As a local, it's easy to become blasé about what's right on your doorstep. We hadn't seen the reef for a while so decided to all head out - the whole family. It was the best decision I ever made! I'd forgotten how amazing the reef was. We did a helicopter flight and the seawalker helmet dive. Both were incredible and gave us fantastic views above and below! The staff were magnificent. Friendly, courteous and helpful. Thank you so much Sunlover - we will be back!

It was a great decision to choose Sunlover Cruise!
It was a great decision to choose Sunlover Cruise, the most famous Great Barrier Reef tour company. I visited with three friends. The Sunlover staff kindly guided us and watched over us, so we were able to successfully complete the snorkeling guide tour and free snorkeling. Moore Reef, with its many fish and coral reefs, was truly beautiful. Lunch was served buffet-style, and the focaccia bread and shrimp were especially delicious. Even if you are not a good swimmer, you can swim far out to sea with the flippers and life jackets. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, so I was satisfied. Be sure to ride the water slide too!!😆

What a day, what a trip, 10 out of 10, one of the best days my family and I have ever had on the Great Barrier Reef.
What a day, what a trip, 10 out of 10, one of the best days my family and I have ever had on the Great Barrier Reef. From the moment we got on the staff set the tone for the day, they were happy to answer any questions we had, no matter how dumb with a smile (like, will we see fish and sharks, and are there any crocs on the reef ). The Reef looked amazing, and yes, lots of fish of all colours. The staff were very helpful with getting us into the right equipment before we hit the water. A big shout-out to the staff on the glass-bottom boat trip, and how well they engaged with the kids, answering all their questions. On our last snorkel, we had a turtle follow us around for about 10 minutes, which just made our day. The slide was a blast, and the food was great. Sunlover, you rock, and I will definitely be back and bringing all my friend. Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes
