The trip was fabulous
The trip was fabulous! The captain of the boat was hilarious while giving some safety instructions and information. The staffs were all very helpful and friendly. Saw a turtle during snorkeling. The tour guide on the Glass bottom boat is very informative as well as knowledgeable; gave us some good spots to snorkel. And of course the island itself is paradise on earth. Overall a great trip!
Wonderful day out at our own pace

Not what I expected.
We visited Fitzroy Island after a day to Green Island a few days earlier and were greatly disappointed. First the boat had nothing playing on the tv in the way of information. There was no information given over the speakers at all. Don’t even think about going on a windy day if you get seasick - the boat ride was extreme. Fitzroy Island is completely surrounded by broken coral so don’t expect a day of relaxing by the water. It’s a huge island but unless you plan on hiking or swimming all day there is nothing else to do but eat at the one restaurant. But even think about sitting there to eat your lunch from this tour as a man will come around and tell you to move. There is nowhere else to comfortably sit or relax to enjoy your time out of the water. You have to swim quite far out to see anything too as the seabed near the edge of the water is all broken coral. We asked to return to cairns early instead of staying for our full day. The walk to Nudey Beach is not suitable for anyone with any limiting mobility. It’s mainly climbing rock steps up and down both ways. It’s not what I expected and I wouldn’t return.
