Great island to visit and stay a few nights. 3 nights is more than enough though. Amazing snorkelling right off the beach which I can’t recommend enough. Saw a turtle every time I went in the water, plus reef sharks, humphead wrasse, stingrays, hundreds of species of fish and coral. It is awesome inspiring. Go snorkeling at low tide for an extra special experience as everything is about 1 meter below the surface at that time and so close and special!

Resort is a bit tired and needs an upgrade bathrooms etc have lots of build up over the years but view is to die for-more dining options would be good given you are staying on an island.zephyr restaurant is great.nuddie beach is lovely and worth the 20 minute walk. There are school camps there which is great for the kids and lots of day trippers

Fitzroy is a very small island that is a day trip for most people. An overnight stay is an opportunity to experience the island and resort after the day trippers have departed, but two nights will exhaust the available restaurant options and three nights would be too many. Note that although the apartments have fully fitted kitchens, the only store on the island stocks NO food items. Smh. Note also that the few walks available will only suit the very fit and able bodied. A big shout-out to Ali who provides kayaks and SUP from the beachfront. These and the glass bottom boat are recommended.

Bring your own snorkelling gear as hiring it for 3 days is equal to buying it. Food is expensive and the general store is really limited. Bring your own cereal/breakfast to help reduce costs.
Staff are fantastic.
If you have young kids, bring beach shoes as the the sand is very rough and mostly broken coral.
The gym is for staff only, which is strange.
Things to do are limited if its raining, bring cards or games to play.

I loved the beaches, loved being able to swim in safe areas and snorkel along over corals and turtles! Nature walks, Foxy's bar vibe, enchanting resort restaurant, great resort swimming pool, and last but not least, always lovely, helpful staff everywhere! Just the place to chill out!! Must take a pair of thongs/flip-flops.

The Fitzroy Flyer transfer was on time & the staff were very attentive - as the weather was not great on the way to the island. The island itself is so beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed hiking up to the summit, sitting on the main beach & walking over to Nudie Beach. We would definitely visit Fitzroy Island for a day-trip but would never stay at the resort again.
Fitzroy Island is one of the most precious places on Earth, with stunning reef snorkelling and beautiful rainforest walks. The resort, although a little weathered, was a great base for our family to explore the island for a week. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we had all that we needed. Would go back in a heartbeat.
The location was amazing. Fitzroy Island was beautiful, and as soon as you got off the ferry you were on the resort. The layout of the resort was nice and open, it had lots of potential to be pretty amazing.
There was good access to snorkelling equipment etc.
