Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Fitzroy Island 1-day tour [Optional snorkeling/lunch | Emerald Island]
Guest User2025-09-10
Easy to book with lots of options to suit your needs. We chose the transfer and snorkelling gear package. Just be mindful that you mind have to pick up the gear from other boat before heading to the one that will take you to the island. If you have a big family and kids, it might be problematic to take all of this stuff with you and walk to the boat. The boat was packed and we struggled to find a place to sit with all of this stuff, and had to seat separately. Apart from that the experience was great, the island is beautiful and you can see the reef and all the sea life. The beach itself is covered in washed away corals, which is beautiful but you might need coral shoes or crocs to make it easier to walk. You can also hike up the mountain or Nudey beach and the view and water is stunning. The food and water are pricey but you take take it with you from land.

The activity was great. The catamaran ride, however, was very choppy. The children and I got a bit seasick. The snorkeling at the pontoon was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful crew.
Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with Silverswift [Optional scuba diving]

The outer Barrier Reef is really beautiful, and the corals are all colored. The reason why I chose sliver swift must be because of the professionalism, Yinyan is simply a gospel for diving lovers. After close contact with the coral, I will find that the original "Coral Sea" really exists!
Reviews: Cairns: Fitzroy Island Half-Day with Optional Extras
Guest User2025-11-06
Half a day was a good amount for us. Glass bottom boat was so good, and the marine biologist was so informative/interactive. The beach was beautiful. We paid to add on the glass bottom boat and lunch, but the only issues were that details surrounding them were not clear. We asked staff on board and they told us to find someone on the island, but the only staff available to ask on the island worked for other companies, so therefore couldn’t really help. We didn’t have a time for the boat and just had to guess/wait around and we had no clue what time/where lunch was meant to be so we didn’t actually end up eating anything. There was a restaurant on the island but it had its own separate menu/payment system to the lunch on this trip.
