Fitzroy Island boat transfers with Fitzroy Island Adventures is a fantastic way to spend the day at beautiful Fitzroy Island. Combining transfers to and from Cairns, the Fitzroy Island boat transfers offers a fast efficient way to get to this inner reef Island.
Fitzroy Island is a continental island which is located about 30km offshore from Cairns. Continental means that it once used to be connected to the mainland, but was separated hundreds of thousands of years ago by rising water levels. The 339-hectare island is a mostly protected national park with a wide variety of terrain and vegetation including fringing tropical reefs, coral beaches, mangroves, open woodland and rainforest. It also features a resort with restaurant and bar facilities.
Spend your day exploring this tropical island with inner reef coral and white sandy beaches and for the more strenuous, a lighthouse walk or summit walk to the very top of Fitzroy Island (Elevation 269 meters). Or, you can just choose to chill out at the island bar, have a few drinks, and buy lunch.
Please note you cannot bring your own alcohol onto the island as it is a National Park and the resort is a licensed premise.

Itinerary:
This day tour is run by Raging Thunder Cruises and commences with check-in at the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal from 8 am. Your transfer vessel is called the Fitzroy Flyer, which is moored a short walk away, at the nearby Marlin Marina. Boarding is from 8.15 am onwards: the boat departs as soon as all guests are on board.
The Fitzroy Flyer catamaran has indoor and outdoor seating and provides a fast, smooth ride to nearby Fitzroy Island, which takes around 45-minutes (pending weather). On arrival at the island, you follow the signs to the beach activity hire hut, right next to the jetty, which is where you can set up on the beach and prepare to spend your day.
There’s plenty to do at Fitzroy Island. You can snorkel from the beach or explore the island’s many self-guided walking trails. We suggest taking bottled water with you on the walks, as most of them are quite strenuous, especially the lighthouse trail and summit walking track (which takes you 269m up the mountain). You must be back on the boat no later than 3.30 pm for the return journey, which will see you arrive in Cairns around 4:45 pm.
Lunch is not provided as this is a Ferry Transfer Service only. But you can purchase meals and drinks from the Island Resort Bar. You are also welcome to bring your own lunch but please note: You are not allowed to bring your own Alcohol as the Island is a National Park and the Resort is a Licensed Premises.
Diving:
Scuba diving is available at Fitzroy Island it can be organized and paid for at the beach activity hire hut.
Snorkeling:
Fitzroy Island is a continental island which is surrounded by fringing coral reefs. Its beaches are mostly comprised of coral rubble. You can snorkel under the jetty or around the headlands to see hard and soft corals, clams and many types of fish including parrotfish, wrasse, butterflyfish, angelfish and more. Underwater visibility varies, pending season, tide and conditions. Seek advice from the beach activity hire hut (next to the jetty) on the best place to snorkel on your visit.
Snorkel gear is not included and can be hired for extra cost from the beach activity hire hut. Or you may also bring your own gear!

Remember to try any form of scuba diving everyone needs to be medically fit with no asthma and not be taking any prescription medication. PADI recommends allowing up to 24 hours after diving before flying in an airplane. Some tour operators have a no refund policy for any dives not completed for whatever reason. Please note the art of freediving is not permitted on any of the day boats or liveaboard dive boats from Cairns & Port Douglas. With the high instances of (shallow water blackout) companies do not allow this for safety reasons. It is highly recommended that passengers take out full comprehensive travel insurance for all tours and travel arrangements.
Do you have Medical Issues:
Please note if you have any medical issues you will need to go see your local GP where you live and get them to write you a letter on the practice letterhead signed and dated by your doctor that you are “Fit to dive” If you have one of these letters then all dive companies in Cairns will take you diving. Please note these letters are only valid for three months from their date of issue.
