Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Fitzroy Island 1-day tour [Optional snorkeling/lunch | Emerald Island]
Guest User2025-09-10
Easy to book with lots of options to suit your needs. We chose the transfer and snorkelling gear package. Just be mindful that you mind have to pick up the gear from other boat before heading to the one that will take you to the island. If you have a big family and kids, it might be problematic to take all of this stuff with you and walk to the boat. The boat was packed and we struggled to find a place to sit with all of this stuff, and had to seat separately. Apart from that the experience was great, the island is beautiful and you can see the reef and all the sea life. The beach itself is covered in washed away corals, which is beautiful but you might need coral shoes or crocs to make it easier to walk. You can also hike up the mountain or Nudey beach and the view and water is stunning. The food and water are pricey but you take take it with you from land.★

Reviews: Cairns: Green Island + Moore Reef Activity Platform Combo
Guest User2025-12-20
The activity was great. The catamaran ride, however, was very choppy. The children and I got a bit seasick. The snorkeling at the pontoon was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful crew.★

Reviews: [Limited-Time Special for Kids] Cairns Great Barrier Reef Sunlover Day Tour with Optional Helicopter Ride
Guest User2025-04-30
The Sunlover cruise was fantastic value for money!
The scenery along the boat was breathtaking, the buffet was delicious and varied, and we were all well and well-fed. The crew was incredibly attentive, patiently helping with photos and answering questions. The helicopter tour is a must-try – a truly unexpected and amazing experience! The views of the ocean and coral reefs from the air were absolutely stunning! We also saw many beautiful little fish while snorkeling and even encountered a sea turtle!
It was a fulfilling and enjoyable day. Highly recommended!
