Die Insel ist eine gute Alternative wenn man nicht auf ein Ponton fahren möchte. Sie bietet einen traumhaften Strand ( Nudey Beach), gute Schnorchelmöglichkeiten links und rechts vom Anleger an kleinen Riffs sowie schöne Wandermöglichkeiten und etwas Gastronomie.

Bateau parti avec 30 min de retard mais sommes restés 30 min de plus sur l’île Traversée bruyante 300 passagers Très belle île Pour les amateurs de snorkeling je conseille de prendre une option disponible sur le bateau pour nous faire emmener plus loin pour profiter du corail des poissons et tortues !

We had a good day on Fitzroy Island and the team were super informative throughout the day, making sure we would be safe when snorkelling and getting around on the island. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t amazing for about half of the day and we weren’t able to take advantage of the snorkelling side as the visibility was really poor, and the tide was very low. The snorkelling gear was also very poor which ultimately meant we didn’t go ahead and do it. I would recommend the trip but just be aware of the weather. Maybe a generic ferry over to the island would have been better value for money for us this time.
