Description
Fitzroy Island is a charming continental island near Cairns, popular for day trips despite its limited visibility.
Snorkelers can enjoy small reef fish, invertebrates, and occasional encounters with turtles and stingrays. Divers can explore rocky reefs from the shore or by boat, with better coral formations in deeper water. Fitzroy Island is particularly suitable for beginners as an introduction to the marine world.
To reach Fitzroy Island, there is a 45-minute ferry ride from Cairns or a 30-minute ferry ride from the Northern Beaches. Charter boats are also available for day trips and multi-day excursions.
