My Favorite Day Trip in Cairns: Fitzroy Island 🌊
During my trip to Cairns, I explored many amazing places, but my absolute favorite was the day trip to Fitzroy Island! Why I Loved This Trip: 🚢 Short & Smooth Boat Ride – Only 45-50 minutes from the mainland on Sunlover’s large, stable ferry (great for those prone to seasickness, like my family!). Felt quick and comfortable. 🏝️ Stunning Nudey Beach – Crystal-clear waters, shallow near the shore with rocky areas full of colorful fish—perfect for snorkeling right off the beach! The whole island offers fantastic snorkeling spots. 🌿 Mini Rainforest Adventure – The walk to Nudey Beach goes through lush, untouched rainforest, giving a taste of the Daintree Rainforest without the long trek. Shaded and peaceful—great if you’re short on time but still want that rainforest vibe! 🍹 Convenient Facilities – Easy access to food, drinks, and amenities, so no need to pack heavy. ⏳ Perfect Timing – No super early wake-up, and you’re back by dinner time—just enough to leave you wanting more! ⚓ Bonus: The views of the Cairns marina on the return trip were gorgeous—perfect way to end the day. #Cairns #Australia #IslandLife #TravelDiaries #Snorkeling #ParadiseFound #DecemberTravel #StudyAbroadAdventures ✨🐠🌴
