Excellent trip and great value for a FULL day of entertainment. Boat and crew were very helpful, and gear supplied worked very well. Not a good swimmer no prob as they offer for very small fee an excellent intro to snorkeling course. Fitzroy Island such a beautiful place with plenty to do and explore. You will not regret this trip, I will be back.

My wife and I loved Fitzroy Island, we spent a day trip there. Swimming at nudey was beautiful, also there was corals and fish south behind the rocks. We went on the glass bottom boat, I think the area was shark fin bay and we saw a turtle munching on coral or algae. Also Foxy’s cafe was great, the food, music and the view of the ocean.

Excellent day of snorkelling and hiking. The glass bottom boat was a nice way to break up the day and we learned lots about the reef and marine life. Hiking to the summit is a challenge would only recommend if in decent physical Al shape. Great day

fitzroy island is beautiful. i saw a shark deep down in the ocean, at the snorkeling point near nudey beach. staff was helpful to let us know which snorkeling points are good to spot corals, turtles, etc. would love to go again

Lovely trip, well organised, it all felt very professional
