Fitzroy Island Resort

Soak up the spectacular natural beauty of Tropical North Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef with a stay at the eco-friendly Fitzroy Island Resort, just a 45-minute catamaran ferry ride from Cairns. From the rainforest to the reef, Fitzroy Island’s remarkable landscapes are begging to be explored – hike the butterfly-filled Secret Garden, snorkel with clownfish and sea turtles in the island’s vivid coral kingdoms or seek the golden sands and balmy blue waters of Nudey Beach, crowned one of Australia’s very best. The resort is also home to the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre (surcharges apply), so you can get up close and personal with the island’s cutest inhabitants.
