Make sure you book your stinger suit before you travel. Spots in the shade are limited, and the only really shade on the beach means sitting on the dead coral . So 2 recommendations. If at all possible take some kinda pop up beach tent or umbrella and an extra towel to sit on as the dead coral can be a little uncomfortable 🤔 😉 the snorkeling is good (not great) but the boat staff are fab. Please note this can be a long day stuck in the sun, if go unprepared!

Had a blast doing the half day with my wife and 1 year old. Brooke was there to help with my nausea by providing me with some ginger tablets. Great to deal with her and the rest of the team.

Had a great time on the island. I walked the summit and along the way met some friendly people. Thanks for you company suzzane. Enjoy the rest of your time in Australia

we had a good day. I want to give 3.5 stars... Started with a snake at the pub..then looked at the water to see a turtle swim past. Went to the white rock for some snorkelling...good between the rocks...but a pity the coral has been trampled. Some nice coral and fish around the rock. Went to nudey beach.....too much wind so it was swim only. Lunch from the boat was simple but fillling. More swimming. Didn't do any of the activities.....but a good day.

We opted to do a half day tour leaving around 11 am and retiring on the 2 pm boat. In our case this was a mistake as it did not give us enough time to visit the turtle hospital and attend the information session, walk around a bit, visit Nudey beach and have a spot of lunch. The longer treks to the lighthouse and summit, along with the snorkelling option were not for us. Still it was a great experience. The boat trip there and back was excellent and despite some chop felt safe in that the crew were competent, professional and friendly. We also had the opportunity to purchase drinks and ice creams. Suggest before booking, check what activities are on offer, the times, then make the choice of a full or half day. Definitely worth a visit.

Just have to say WOW. What a great experience we had today. Sailed at 11am. Returned on the 2pm ferry. Enough time to check out the lighthouse and a swim at Nudey beach. Highlight was the crew onboard the boat today. Sunday 23/5/2021. What a happy/friendly crew. Acknowledgment of traditional owners was extra special. Keep up the brilliant work. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Although the website promises 2h on the island it was past 12.30 when we arrived and so we only spent just over an hour on the island. (Left at 2pm). Couldn’t even extend our trip to return at 5pm as the boat was full.

Well worth the trip. You can snorkel very safely by yourselves and see an array of fish and coral very close to the shore. Don’t bother paying for the snorkel tour , was very disappointing as the marine biologist only spoke about coral, we saw more species doing our own snorkel. Bar is good for a drink. We grabbed a sandwich at the general store for lunch. Ran out of time to do any of the walks

We took a trip out to Fitzroy Island for the day to do a bit of snorkelling on the beach. It was a bit rainy, but the water was warm. It was best at Nudey Beach.

The staff are lovely, all very professional and friendly. Safety tips covered well with a little humour which was a nice touch. Once arrived on Fitzroy Island it is really up to you to do what you like. The secret garden is a beautiful a tranquil walk. There is a restaurant there with average food, but the sweet potato fries were delicious. You can get your snorkle gear very easily. Highly recommend getting stinger suit to be safe and then you can snorkle at ease. The water is crystal clear and just near the shore, you will see some coral and beautiful coloured fish. The glass bottom boat was a great trip, the guide/driver Peter was very knowledgeable and informative. A great way to see a bit of the reef with some good information, which was easy to understand. Overall i would reccommend this tour. Less touristy than green island, which made a very peaceful and memorable day. Thank you!

We had a wonderful day. Lots of good snorkeling - nice reefs toward the rocks, a lot of fish at Nudey beach. We enjoyed the turtle rehabilitation center. A little hike to Nudey beach - wish we made more time to spend there. What I liked about Raging Thunder are their times of departure and arrival. Very convenient for us. Also, their staff was extremely friendly with great service.

we went to Fitzroy Island with the family for the first time. only 45min ferry trip from Cairns its a great option for families. Great place for swimming, snorkeling, Paddle boards and kayaks are on offer and full stinger suits. we also got to see baby reef sharks, plenty of fish and also some turtles. Also a must is the Glass bottom boat was great. staff were friendly and very helpful. Easy trip back from Fitzroy Island to Cairns Marina. had an amazing time, kids loved the paddle board experience.

Beautiful place, the staff was very kind, excellent snorkeling gear and beach gear (kayaks and saps), good lunch, had a great time

Fitzroy island is a beautiful place for photos etc but we did need the full stinger suit, snorkelling near the pier was nice early on, saw some nice fish (and some jellyfish!). but as the day went on it got very choppy. We tried the standup paddle boards but it was a bit too rough to actually stand up, the kayaks were also included but we didn't use them.(you get 30 mins each time you hire them). We went for the 20 min walk to Nudey beach which was very pretty, its worth the walk, and there was some good snorkelling near the rocks. If i went again I would have snorkelled near the pier then had lunch and then gone to Nudey beach as you have to give all the gear back by 3pm. (we did everything then had lunch and were done by 230 pm (kids couldn't be bothered putting the stinger suits back on) and had to wait until 4pm for the boat. Don't really rate Foxy's, waited 40 mins for lunch as they lost the order and then it was under cooked. Also can't believe they actually have a guy guarding the toilets, they are just like park toilets. A tip The Cat is very hot inside so take a seat out the back in the shade, or upstairs in the sun with the breeze. (it had 1 aircon but really didn't work with 50 people inside). Would i go again? Yes but in winter. If you are tossing up between here and Green Island I would recommend Green Island we didn't need stinger suits there.

We regularly visit Fitzroy Island as it is one of our favourite places for a family day out! The boat, food and staff are also fantastic and I can highly recommend a hike to the summit to take in the incredible views with a snorkel afterwards to cool off!
