Fitzroy Island is just a 45 minute ferry from Cairns. Yet, despite its nearness, the resort is modestly sized and very quiet. There are hikes to the summit and lighthouse and various other walks; snorkel, kayak, fish, schedule a scuba/snorkel to the reef, or scuba from the island itself, or just laze by the pool or on the beach. Don't... More

My partner and i spent 3 days 2nights out on the island. If it were not for the vibrant attitude from most of the staff there our stay would of been horrible! With our room there was mold all through the bathroom, giving the impression the cleaning staff do not do there job properly, at night there is a 'humming'... More

Fitzroy Island Resort is absolutely lovely! We spent 3 nights in a one bedroom suite with an adjoining 1 bedroom on the third floor (top floor). We had a fabulous view and our suite was wonderful! I wish that we had stayed on the island a little longer. There are some good hikes (hiking the summit trail means you go... More

The room we had was self-contained and very well set out and comfortable when we finally got it. We were given the wrong room on arrival and felt a little disappointed with the way the mistake was handled. Apart from a tense start, the next two days were very relaxing and the setout of Foxy's bar being away from the... More

Living in Cairns we had always intended to go visit Fitzroy Island but keep putting it off. Determined to visit we took the Fitzroy Island Cat to the Island for a two night stay. We booked a Oceanview Suite (locals remember to ask for the local price). On the ground floor our suite had lovely views through the trees to... More

The walk to the ferry is long and lacks signage. Having to lug ones luggage from the car park to the ferry is laborious. We are healthy and young thank goodness otherwise this could have been a problem. This was our first impression of what we would encounter on our trip. Lack of direction and forethought.

the resort is over priced for what you get and the price of food is over the top but the island is mind blowing, you can snorkle over reef in 3 foot of water so you dont have to be a strong swimmer to enjoy the reef and the walks on the island are a must, will go there again... More
