We loved Fitzroy island! We found great spots for snorkeling around the reef and even saw 3 turtles. You do need some patience to find the right spot and be lucky with the tides. While on the boat they proposed to book an extra snorkel tour with a marine biologist and this was so interesting, we would recommend!

Such a beautiful island… snorkelling on Nudey beach was unreal… colourful coral and fish right by the rocks. If you want to rent a kayak or paddle board I would recommend booking in advance so you don’t miss out. The staff at the water sports stand gave great advice and were lovely. The boat staff were attentive and friendly. A school group were on the boat and a staff member gave his coat to a pupil who was cold a very kind gesture. They also had lots of options for people who get sea sick including medication to take prior to leaving.

Fitzroy Island was amazing, definitely worth the visit. Beautiful natural scenery and if you can make it I would definitely recommend walking to the lighthouse and better yet, the summit. Did not feel like the snorkelling was worth it and we had to carry the equipment around the island. Apart from that no complaints or with the tour guide.
