Recommend! - Great experience! All was on time, great professional and funny staff. :) made a best out of experience even if it was rainy a bit. Just make sure, you eat light breakfast as it can be pretty wavy on board

Fitzroy Island - Great snorkeling experience at Nudey Beach. Glad we had stinger suits as we did see a few different stingers and also non stinging jellies. Saw turtles, various fish. Beautiful clear water.

Fitzroy island snorkel and glass bottom boat - Smooth transfer to beautiful island. Book the snorkeling equipment and glass bottom boat package, well worth it! Can bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks, order at Foxy’s or buy at the general store. We got our meals takeaway from Foxy’s and ate at the beach

Nice day out - Only used this as a ferry service. We did not opt in to the glass bottom boat or snorkeling. Island is beautiful and offers pretty snorkeling. Nudey beach was a tough treak to make but not too. Wear proper hiking gear and study the path as much as possible and don't be afraid to get directions as it can be confusing. Food places are minimal and close in the afternoon so be ware of timings before heading out.

Amazing experience, the... - Amazing experience, the reef is so close to the island we could truly swim into and see how beautiful it is. Got a peak of a turtle and a beautiful sting ray as well. The water is so warm and the food and drinks were great at the café on the island the only issue we had was that the cafè only serves food from 11.30 so make sure you bring food with you in the morning.

Beautiful tour - What a beautiful island. Picturesque blue waters and greenery. The ferry out was comfortable and short with a great crew to get us out there.

Totally relaxing - Swimming in the crystal clear waters was amazing. The trails on the island were breathtaking and certainly worth doing.

Give the glass bottom boat on Fitzroy Island a miss. - My husband and I took a day trip from Cairns to Fitzroy Island. Professional, helpful staff on the Fitzroy Island boat, and everything ran to schedule. Beautiful scenery as we walked/hiked to Nudey Beach, which was well worth the trek. The trip included the option of a glass bottom boat trip or snorkelling experience, and we chose the glass bottom boat. The 30 minute boat trip was very underwhelming, the boat hovered for a few minutes over some bleached out looking coral, with a spiel delivered by the driver,and then raced back for the next tour group. It very much felt like a money making exercise that I would not recommend. There was also no advance notice that the Turtle Rehabilitation Centre on the Island was closed. We ended up coming back 2 hours early and were a bit disappointed overall.
