Fitzroy Island National Park
Offshore excursion from Cairns, Australia
Fitzroy Island brings a compact combination of rainforest, granite boulders and coastal scenery within a day trip from Cairns. Follow a marked national-park track rather than assuming every beach walk is flat: the route to Nudey Beach includes steps and uneven sections. Welcome Bay offers the familiar arrival scene, while the walking network invites a more active visit. Allow enough island time to enjoy the landscape between transfers rather than treating the ferry as the main event.
