Reviews
Overall it was very good. I am a hard marker, but l would give a mark of 88 out of 100 just short of excellent which would be 90 plus
Really love this island. Can see where there are programs for regeneration of corals. Love the Turtles!!
This trip was great So well run, the staff were friendly, helpful, happy and interested in the clients having a great time. I would definitely book again.
We had a wonderful day & our tripnout to Fitzroy Island was great.
We were told the return trip was at 4pm, but it was 4.45pm before the boat arrived so the boat was very late heading back to Cairns & we stood on the pier for 45mins waiting & not sure when the boat was coming to pick us up - but other than that it was great.
Went out to Fitzroy Island to do the turtle rehabilitation tour. This was very basic and pretty much had a person standing in front of a blue pool with a newly rescued turtle swimming around. We copped an absolute shocker of a day weather wise and the trip out and back in was not for the faint hearted. There were a lot of people being sick. Value for money...no not really. Would I recommend the trip....no not really. Desperately short of toilets on the island. Would be better value to go to the aquarium in Cairns and see the turtles.
Good trip, no problems.
