Make time for an island escape Fitzroy ferries and reef combinations
Spend a day on Fitzroy Island with return transfers from Cairns, or combine your island visit with time at Moore Reef. The island offers beach time, rainforest walking and opportunities to snorkel, with different packages leaving you different amounts of time to explore.
Compare Sunlover’s return ferry with Fitzroy Island Adventures’ full-day and half-day options. A transfer-only ticket lets you choose extras separately, while the Moore Reef and Fitzroy Island combination includes a structured day at two destinations. Check equipment, meals and activity inclusions rather than assuming every island ticket provides the same experience.
Fitzroy Island tour questions
Should I choose a full-day or half-day tour?
A full-day option gives you more island time for a mix of walking, swimming and relaxing. A half-day visit suits a shorter outing but leaves less time for longer walks or several activities. Compare the actual departure and return times on your selected ticket.
Compare Fitzroy Island Full-Day Tour – Fitzroy Island Adventures and Fitzroy Island Half-Day Tour – Fitzroy Island Adventures for the different options.
Are snorkelling equipment and lunch included?
Inclusions depend on the product and fare. A return ferry ticket should not be assumed to include snorkelling gear, lunch or guided activities. Check the individual listing and choose any available extras before booking.
Can I visit Moore Reef and Fitzroy Island in one day?
Yes. The Sunlover Moore Reef and Fitzroy Island combination visits both destinations in one touring day. It follows a set itinerary, so compare its reef activities and island time with a dedicated Fitzroy Island day trip.
What should I plan before an island visit?
Check the return ferry time, what equipment you need and which walks or activities fit your visit. Bring sun protection and suitable footwear for your plans. Weather and water conditions can affect activities, and walk times need to leave enough time to return for your boat.

How much does a Fitzroy Island day trip cost?
Compare the current fare for your date and passenger ages. Add any equipment, meals or activities you want before comparing totals. A ferry-only fare and a package with extras are different products, even when they travel to the same island.
Is Fitzroy Island a good choice for a family day out?
Choose around your children’s ages, swimming confidence and the time you want ashore. Check the selected ticket’s child fares, facilities and activity requirements. Leave enough time for your plans and the return ferry; a shorter visit gives less flexibility for several activities.
