About Fitzroy Island Adventures
Fitzroy Island Adventures operates the fast ferry service from Cairns to Fitzroy Island, a pristine continental island surrounded by Great Barrier Reef fringing coral just 45 minutes from the Reef Fleet Terminal. The company handles both the ferry crossing and the full range of island activities, making them the one-stop operator for a day trip or overnight stay on one of the most unspoiled islands in the Cairns region.
On the island, guests can snorkel directly off the beach over coral gardens, hire sea kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to explore secluded coves, take the summit walking trail through tropical rainforest for panoramic views, or join a glass-bottom boat tour. The Two Island Explorer package combines Fitzroy Island with nearby Green Island for a full-day reef and island experience. Half-day and full-day packages include ferry transfers, with optional activity add-ons for snorkel gear, kayaks, and SUP boards.
What sets Fitzroy Island Adventures apart is the quality of the island itself — with 97 percent of Fitzroy covered in national park rainforest and world-class fringing reef accessible straight off the beach, it offers a more natural and less commercialised experience than many other reef day trips from Cairns.
