    Absolutely stunning island. We cancelled our reef tour and came here twice as we researched it was the best place to see turtles whilst snorkelling. Loved that we could just get the ferry over and were able to do things at our own pace. The snorkelling was out of this world. Saw 4 turtles and so many different species of fish without swimming deep. The water was crystal clear, warm and the island itself is breath taking.

    It was a pretty nice first experience to travel to an island with a reef. The staff on our boat were very friendly and helpful, and were very clear and concise when it came to delivering instructions and information about our day on the island. We had also booked the beginner’s tour for snorkelling as it was our first time. Although we weren’t very accustomed to snorkelling yet, our guide was very informative and supportive of us, and had helped us stay afloat whilst giving us a very detailed tour off the coast above the coral reef. We had plenty of time to explore the island and relax, and although the reef we had explored weren’t very clear or colourful we still enjoyed the experience.

    Beautiful inner reef tropical island 45 minute Ferry offshore form downtown Cairns Marlin Wharf. Left of Island Jetty - baby reef sharks swimming in the shallows. Just dump your stuff on the fossiled coral beach and start snorkelling. Bird Rock is for experienced swimmers only. Carefree relaxed vibe island. Boat drops you off with your snorkelling gear and eski (if u bring your own lunch) *tip bring a day pack with only essentials and leave it almost empty to fit your hired snorkelling gear in. 2 FIA crew will stay on the beach under a blue umbrella when the transfer boat leaves. Right of the Island Jetty - Foxys a la carte licensed restaurant, opened for lunch no bookings required. Have lunch and glass of Sav B overlooking the bay!! 20 minute bush walk, over tree roots & big rocks (right footwear important) to Nudey Beach (not a nudist beach!!!). There there is a beach swing and lots of space to make your own little area for swimming and suntanning fun.

    You took us across today and what superb weather it was. A bit choppy however on the way back, your captain is clearly very experienced as he seemed to ride the waves rather than smash through like some operators do. The crew were all really friendly. A local guy on the boat, I think called Tim was really interesting and knowledgeable on our trip back and answered all our questions about the local area. What a great team. A suggestion if the crew were up for it was the Aboriginal stories of their ancestors and local communities really make this area of the world unique and to integrate that into the journey is something I think a lot of tourists would appreciate as it's really interesting. For people who were complaining about the lunch, I eat a lot and it did the job (meat pasta). Even with us hiking up to the lighthouse and then swimming for over an hour in the sea. Thanks again Matt

    It is exactly what it says - jump on the boat, head to the island, explore and go home. Pleasant team on the boat and pretty island. If it’s windy think about taking a travel calm, it was quite rocky for us and I needed to watch the horizon. Also take some swimming shoes, lots of coral and rough sand on the island. Overall we had a great day!
