Cairns Snorkeling

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.

Tym razem zabrano nas na dwie zewnętrzne rafy barierowe: Milln Reef i Flynn Reef. Widzieliśmy też wieloryby i delfiny. Zewnętrzne rafy są o wiele piękniejsze niż wewnętrzne, ale najpierw trzeba przetrwać 2 godziny na wzburzonym morzu, aby do nich dotrzeć. Jest to jednak bardzo warte zachodu. Zdecydowanie zalecamy zażycie leków na chorobę morską, aby uniknąć zepsucia sobie przyjemności.

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.
