Sea Turtles

A fabulous day trip from Cairns Beaches Flash Packers will take you out to Fitzroy Island where you can swim with these magnificent creatures.

Sea turtles are spotted regularly in the exquisite aqua warm waters that surround Fitzroy island, the waters around the island can be

explored by means of snorkelling or diving, as well as by sea kayak or stand-up paddle board (all equipment can be arranged via the island’s own Dive and Adventure Centre). A daily tour to the island’s Turtle Rehabilitation Centre is also a must-do activity, where you can witness firsthand the incredible work the centre’s dedicated volunteers undertake in order to rehabilitate sick and injured turtles back into their ocean home

Fitzroy Island is located just off the coast of Cairns (the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef) and can be easily reached by means of a 45-minute Fast Cat ride from the Cairns Marina

Fitzroy Island is a fantastic option when it comes to witnessing sea turtles up close, with the opportunity to spot them in the tropical aqua waters that surround the island, as well as by paying a visit to the island’s Turtle Rehabilitation Centre.
