A must! - Great time! The weather was gorgeous. The water was beautiful. Loved being able to snorkel to the Reef from the shore. Lunch was a nice addition. Cool drinks from the bar - bonus! Crew on the boat were great - informative of everything we needed to know. Highly recommend!

Excellent customer service - Due to an issue on my end with my booking, as well as changes in the times Sunlover were actually able to do the transfers I contacted them to cancel my booking. They were wonderful, understanding and exceptionally prompt with the processing. I can only imagine that it would have been equally exceptional customer service if we had been able to use them.

Best experience on Fitzroy island!! - 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.

Spectacular views and vibrant sea - I'm glad I chose Fitzroy Island out of all the islands there are☺️ The staff on the cruise ship were very friendly and kind, and I was able to cross to the island with peace of mind! As soon as I arrived, I climbed the mountain for about 15 minutes and was greeted by a magnificent view of Australia, which gave me a sense of exhilaration I'd never felt before✨ I spent the afternoon relaxing on the beach, listening to music, sleeping, swimming, and having a wonderful holiday! The island is very clean with almost no trash, and it soothes the hearts of those who visit♡It's highly recommended for relieving your daily fatigue♪

Recommend! - Great experience! All was on time, great professional and funny staff. :) made a best out of experience even if it was rainy a bit. Just make sure, you eat light breakfast as it can be pretty wavy on board

Great Fitzroy Island day trip - We really enjoyed our time in Fitzroy island We did the hike to the lighthouse and summit and did some swimming at Nudey beach. It was a beautiful place. The only negative was the ferry service emailed us the day before and pushed back the start time by 60 or 90 minutes with no good explanation.

Sunlover boat - The delay in leaving Cairns and also coming back.Yes they apologied for the day.lmagine thinking you will leave at 10AM and end up leaving after 11AM.l left home without having breakfast,thinking l will have my breakfast at Fitzroy. Surely offering customers something to eat will attending the issue will not have made customers notice the time delay.photos where taken when we where boarding, but nothing was said on where to get them.R egular servicing boats is important.
