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.

As soon as we boarded the boat, a handsome young man greeted us and introduced the facilities and activities on board. Seeing that my mother was older, he told us which seats in the cabin were comfortable and less prone to motion sickness. Once on the island, it truly lived up to the description—a small, green island, but with everything you'd expect. We strolled along the beach, watching young people snorkel, and my mother was especially delighted, like a child, taking a glass-bottom boat tour to see the coral and fish. It was fantastic.

Nice place to visit, unlucky about the weather, but we can see water animals and corals with the glass bottle boat.

Second time Fillroy Island. When I snorkel alone last time, I saw sea turtles 𓆉. This time, when I went to the beach behind the island with my daughter, I saw Napoleon fish 〜\ (^ o ^) / I was lucky.
