Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Fitzroy Island one-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.★

Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Moore Reef + Emerald Island one-day tour[Chinese and English Service | Meals Included]
Guest User2024-12-22
Departing on Monday, there is no Chinese tour group, there are fewer people, there is a girl staff in the boat who can speak Chinese, and the overall service is good. Emerald Island is worth recommending, where the sea is green and clear, the coral is particularly beautiful, and there are more fish. It is better than the platform. The buffet lunch is very rich, varied and tastes good!★

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.★

Reviews: Fitzroy Island Day Tour from Cairns

The snorkle tours are fantastic, super informative and crew very knowledgeable and friendly. The underwater live was amazing and got to see my first turtle. Just make sure you bring suitable footwear to use on the beach due to the washed up coral
