Cairns Water activities

Fitzroy island was beautiful! Very scenic & tranquil. The tickets to the ferry were easy to use, with straightforward instructions sent to your email 3-4 days before your actual departure date. Do however note that facilities at Fitzroy Island are limited… Only 3 toilets next to Foxy’s Cafe and visitors aren’t allowed to use the area at Fitzroy Island Resort… Remember to bring along sunblock and picnic mats!! If you’re able to snorkel, little fishes can always be spotted near the shoreline.

This trip took us to two outer reefs, Milln Reef and Flynn Reef, where we also saw whales and dolphins. The outer reefs are much more beautiful than the inner reefs, but you first have to endure two hours of rough seas to get there. However, it's absolutely worth it. I highly recommend taking motion sickness medication beforehand to avoid spoiling the experience.

this is a great trip. it’s very relaxed and when you reach the island you have the freedom to do what you want in terms of paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkelling, etc. it was pretty cold and rained a lot but still managed to do a fair bit. just relaxing on the beach was not something to enjoy. the boat ride, the crew, the croc spotting was all great. Andy’s knowledge and enthusiasm of all things reef was an honour to be a part of. morning tea and cake was a nice pick me up. lunch was lovely. there was no afternoon tea but all too full from lunch to miss it.

I used this service for my transfer to Fitzroy Island. The boat was two-storied and departed and arrived on schedule, which made for a reassuring experience. If your goal is to explore the island and enjoy the scenery without getting into the ocean, I believe the afternoon departure would be perfectly enjoyable. However, walking to the popular Nudey Beach and taking photos took up more time than expected, so there wasn't much time left to leisurely visit other spots. Overall, the transfer was comfortable and smooth, and I am very satisfied.

Super fun, highly recommended! The staff were all very enthusiastic and friendly. There were six of us in our family, and two who had mobility issues were very well taken care of. Everyone had a great time, and the whole experience was very relaxed and pleasant. There were a few exciting parts, but the water was a little cold, and we had to handle restroom breaks and changing clothes after the activity in a more rustic setting.

very exciting 30mins of adrenalin pumping fun.. we probably spun 10 times or more.. lovely views out there on the waters. highly recommended. they took very nice photos and videos too (purchase separately)

our guide name was John. we had one of the best experiences ever. the tour company was really good but shout out to our guide John who made it really fun and adventurous. he is really knowledgeable and knows his stuff so well. this tour won’t have been great without him. thank you and would definitely recommend it.

I was initially worried about finding the shuttle, but it was the bus with the rafting picture on it, so it was easy to spot. When you board, they'll confirm your details and ask if you need to rent shoes; you can also wear your own flip-flops. Along the way, there are stops for restrooms and a small town called Tully, where you can buy food and find a supermarket for lunch. Afterward, we continued to our destination. As soon as we got off the bus, we put on the wetsuits, thermal vests, life vests, and helmets they provided. It was great because the thermal vests were very warm. You need to wear your own pants (it's best to wear your swimsuit underneath). On the bus, they'll tell you who your instructor is, and once you're geared up, you can find them directly. Outdoor activities really depend on the instructor, so having a good one makes it a lot of fun! On the way back, we also stopped at a restaurant for dinner, and then we looked at the day's photos. You can split the cost of the photos with others on your boat, so it's quite a good deal, and the pictures turned out great! Safety: Very safe! We wore life vests, and the instructors were very professional!
