We went on a Fitzroy island tour with Sunlover Reef Cruise.
What I loved about this tour was the time duration on Fitzroy Island. You get to experience Fitzroy island more than enough in a day!
We went on a hike, went to the Nudey beach, snorkelling around & spent a day on Nudey Beach exploring!
While we were waiting for the boat to go back to Cairns, we spotted some sea turtles on the jetty.
Boat came around 5pm and we could enjoy the pre sunset sky at Fitzroy island which was absolutely beautiful ✨
All the staff I have spoken to on the boat, they were all friendly and professional.
I highly recommend to book Fitzroy island tour with Sunlover Reef Cruise! It was definitely worth the money.★

Reviews: Cairns Reef Magic Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour [optional helicopter/scuba diving/buffet lunch]
Guest User2026-06-17
The pier was easy to find; we were staying nearby, within walking distance. There were many boat companies at the ticket exchange point; just show your confirmation slip to exchange for tickets. The food was decent. We spent about four and a half hours at the Great Barrier Reef, and did all the activities we wanted. Overall, it was quite a good experience.★

Reviews: Cairns Magic Reef Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with snorkeling, lunch, glass-bottom boat, and semi-submarine
Guest User2025-11-08
The so-called "Chinese-speaking tour" is actually just a confirmation email sent to your phone by the merchant after you've successfully purchased and paid for the tickets. It lists the activities included in the package. However, there's virtually no Chinese-speaking service throughout the trip; it's essentially like buying two packages and then traveling entirely independently. On the boat and on the Great Barrier Reef platform, those who speak good English can learn more about the activities and have a smoother experience, while those who don't can just go with the flow. The overall experience of this tour wasn't as great as I had imagined beforehand; this varies from person to person because everyone's past experiences and expectations are different.★

Reviews: [Add CNY 10 for airport pick-up · Fuel surcharge included] Cairns Sunlover Reef Cruises Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour
Guest User2025-08-04
It's definitely worth the experience, and I highly recommend every visitor to Cairns to take a boat tour. The kids loved it, especially the water slide (apparently the only one on any boat), the snorkeling, and seeing sea turtles swimming right around us – it was incredibly therapeutic. There was a bit of discomfort on the way there, but I didn't feel anything on the way back; I'm not sure if it was because my body adjusted or if it was a matter of going with or against the current.
