"Ferry to Fitzroy Island" Fitzroy Island Transportation Tip by Marpessa

The only way to get to Fitzroy Island is by ferry. It is a 45 minute trip from Cairns to Fitzroy Island. There are 3 departures a day from either side:

Dep. Cairns: 8.30am, 9.30am, 10.30am & 3.45pm

Dep. Fitzroy: 9.30am, 3.00pm, 4.00pm & 5.00pm

(Check the website for any changes)

It's a nice ride, and you can sit up top in the sun (although make sure to put a hat and sunscreen on) or below (the seats are more comfortable inside the ferry as the ones on the top are plastic)
