I paid extra for the...
I paid extra for the ferry to have Snorkeling equipment included, nothing came with it. I had to purchase on the island. Waves were rough, 6 people were throwing up from sea sickness. Out of the ferry control but just keep in mind if you get sea sickness.

Fitzroy island Snorkeling
The snorkeling itself was enjoyable the cruise over on the Fitzroy Flyer was a bit disappointing. Most of the crew came across as a bit unprofessional I expected more (especially one fella who had his hood on the whole time, laying around did nothing and the person steering had her feet up and on her phone, the person on the microphone was good.

Disappointing personal experience
Disappointing experience. I give 2 stars only for the ferry because it was on time, the rest was very disappointing. Snorkeling equipment was included in the ticket, but as soon as you arrive at the facility, you have to pay extra to get a wetsuit. The island is nice but has nothing to do with the tour. I recommend buying only and exclusively the ferry ticket, the rest is all disappointing

Fitzroy Island Day Trip 11am to 5pm Ferry INC Snorkel Equipment: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairns & the Tropical North.
How much does Fitzroy Island Day Trip 11am to 5pm Ferry INC Snorkel Equipment cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairns & the Tropical North usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fitzroy Island Day Trip 11am to 5pm Ferry INC Snorkel Equipment take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairns & the Tropical North is not rushed.
Is Fitzroy Island Day Trip 11am to 5pm Ferry INC Snorkel Equipment worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairns & the Tropical North, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fitzroy Island Day Trip 11am to 5pm Ferry INC Snorkel Equipment?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fitzroy Island Day Trip 11am to 5pm Ferry INC Snorkel Equipment suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fitzroy Island Day Trip 11am to 5pm Ferry INC Snorkel Equipment?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairns & the Tropical North can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairns & the Tropical North and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fitzroy Island Day Trip 11am to 5pm Ferry INC Snorkel Equipment start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairns & the Tropical North within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairns & the Tropical North?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairns & the Tropical North experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fun, Falls and Forest Day Trip from Cairns, Passions of Paradise Great Barrier Reef Cruise by Catamaran, Tully River Full-Day Rafting: Cairns, Mission Beach or Self-Drive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairns & the Tropical North?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairns & the Tropical North?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
