Fitzroy Island Things to Do Tips by Marpessa

Sea-Kayak

This is definitely one of the best activities you can do on Fitzroy Island and no experience is necessary. The kayak is two-man, and you kayak around Fitzroy Island, stopping at Little Fitzroy Island; for lunch, a snorkel and a climb to the top of the island (and on the way down you get to climb through a cave, very cool).

The whole trip takes about 5-6 hours, that includes about an hour on Little Fitzroy Island, and instructions for kayaking before you begin.

Just be sure that you take a hat and plenty of sunscreen, because otherwise you will get seriously burnt.

The National Park

Try to go on one of the nature walks on Fitzroy Island (self-guided). Do not go in the middle of the day when the sun is at its hottest. My suggestion is to start early, take a hat, lots of water and your camera. The views from walking up the mountain (?) are brilliant. Just give yourself plenty of time as they take between 45 minutes, up to a couple of hours depending on which one you choose (there are 3 or 4 different paths).

Directions: Walks are highlighted on the map, and there are signs to point you in the right direction.
