I opted for transport only which gave me the freedom to do my own self guided walks on the island which gave great views (Summit and Lighthouse walk) and interesting insight into the rainforest (Secret Garden walk) and the stunning scenery on approach to and from Nudey Beach. And I had time for a paddle in the warm sea before heading back to the boat for return. A great day. I'm going to return so I can spend a day snorkelling. It's possible to hire kit at a shop on the beachfront.

We had the best time on this trip! Fitzroy Island is the most beautiful place I have ever visited. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They even had sea-sick tablets which came in handy! We rented the snorkelling equipment which was ideal as we got to see so much coral and even turtles! We also opted for the glass-bottom boat tour which was great to see the variety of coral off the shore (especially if you do not feel confident enough to snorkel far from shore by yourself). Overall an incredible experience and would happily book again! One thing I would change - perhaps I would have booked the guided snorkel as it took a while to figure out what spots on the island were good for finding different creatures :) However, if you book the 5hr trip you have plenty of time to snorkel at your own speed.

This was absolutely excellent. It was an incredible experience that I’d definitely do again. It was great to be a bit more self guided, we booked on the glass bottom boat tour but other then that we were free to roam and be wherever we wanted at whatever time! I like that is wasn’t too structured. The absolute only issue I had was that they don’t tell you to pack things/ sandals that you can wear in the water because the beaches aren’t normal sand they’re large chunks of dead coral. For the Europeans reading this probably isn’t that foreign with the rock beaches etc but as an Aussie this was absurd! We only brought walking shoes as we planned to hike a bit, this meant scrambling down the beaches in insane pain trying to reach the water. Think walking on legos but for meters as you try to find relief in the ocean- not fun. Obviously this is no fault of the tour the only thing I wish they did differently was let us know to bring shoes that could go in water. I’d still recommend! 9.5/10.
