Fitzroy Island day trip is just the best thing to do in Cairns for a family, couple, friends or even if you are travelling solo. Fiztroy island Cairns is a little tropical island which is 97% national park and situated on the Great Barrier Reef.
If you want to stay on this tropical paradose, Fitzroy Island resort is the only accommodation on Fitzroy Island for staying overnight but I went for a day trip to Fitzroy Island which is preferred by a lot of travellers.
In today's Fitzroy island vlog I will show you around the island and also tell you how I experienced the Great Barrier Reef on a budget!
Fitzroy Island ferry costs $85 return ticket but I booked the tickets on a deal from Bookme which cost me $66 for a return ferry and this is where you can get Fitzroy Island transfers deals: www.bookme.com.au/things-to-d...
Fitzroy Island weather is tropical, you'll have a lot of sun and a lot of humidity so pack accordingly. There is a lot of stuff to do on Fitzroy Island for all age groups:
1. Fitzroy Island Snorkelling - www.fitzroyisland.com/snorkel...
2. Fitzroy Island Glass Bottom Tour - www.fitzroyisland.com/snorkel...
3. Fitzroy Island Lighthouse Walk
4. Fitzroy Island Summit Walk
5. Kayaking and SUP along the island
I found this island to be great spot for Great Barrier Reef snorkelling. Great barrier reef tours are normally very expensive. They depart from Cairns and take you to outer reef where you can snorkel and scuba dive at Great Barrier Reef. Great Barrier Reef diving is probably the most popular activity in Cairns but if you want to do it on a budget, Fitzroy Island is a great option.

This was such a great video for someone who is trying to book a holiday for a family with kids who aren't 'native' Queensland snorkelers :-)

I am so glad! I hope you get to enjoy the great barrier reef as much as we did. Thank you so much 😇

Congratulations on overcoming your fears hun 🌷🌷! Thanks for the lovely video ! I went to green island last time and this time heading to Fitzroy . I am a Queenslander. Also if I may the cai part in cairns is pronounced like this - (as in “can “of coke or Canada ) and not like ask cake . But my aunt from Sydney pronounces it as in cake too .

@Whatsnextakanksha 2 года назад

Thank you!! I am sure you’ll love it at Fitzroy. You know I noticed that a lot of people in Cairns were pronouncing it like you do and I was just confused. Now it all makes sense.

I have been looking at booking a trip to the Great Barrier Reef and it sounds ideal being able to stay at a resort and just snorkel off the beach into it. Did they have regular food at the general store or a way to cook at the hotel? In regards to the snorkeling aspect after you snorkel a certain amount I would say it just becomes natural. We snorkeled Hawaii and the Dominican Republic. Luckily we started in the Dominican Republic because the waters were calm and warm there so you did not even need flippers. Hawaii you need flippers because the waves are harsh. By the beach it would be hard to get in without flippers and if you snorkel out where the action is you really need flippers or else you will just get carried out into the ocean the waves are so forceful. Sounds like it is pretty calm around Fitzroy island.

Hey! You’ll love staying at the resort too. General store only had snacks but there was a bar and restaurant on the island where we had lunch. It was a little expensive though. I loved the snorkel experience. It was a great way to just begin and get comfortable in the water and since it was such a beautiful experience, I am motivated to do it again 😍

I don't think that island was developed for tourists when I was in Cairns. I went for a day trip to Green Island and did the snorkelling etc there. Fitzroy Island looks great.

@Whatsnextakanksha 2 года назад

Oh that’s interesting. I am sure you’ll like it if you go there now. It’s less crowded than Green Island.

Hi can I please ask which camera you guys used underwater ? Thanks

@Whatsnextakanksha Год назад

Hey! I used GoPro Hero 10 with underwater settings: wide lens, 120fps.

@sheeg1209 Год назад

Hey! Just a quick little question, do you know how to swim and do you need to know how to swim to go for beginners snorkelling considering you get to hold onto the safety tube? :)

@Whatsnextakanksha Год назад

Hey, I didn’t know how to swim and you don’t need to. They give you life vests which keeps you afloat and the tube is for guidance. Once you are comfortable, you can let go of it.

Nice info but I got motion sick from watching the last goodbye part of the video 😵‍💫
