GREAT DAY AT MOORE REEF & FITZROY ISLAND!

Jess 28 November 2025

We are a family of 5 with 3x kids aged 9,7 and almost 4 years old, plus I had my parents 69 and 65 year old with medical conditions. We all had the best time snorkelling at Moore Reef, once we finally convinced the kids they had to wear stinger suits to get into the water. The coral is so alive and pretty, plenty of fish! My eldest went down the waterslide about 5 times and I did it once! It was fun! The glass bottom boat was amazing! Highly recommend doing that! The semi- subversive wasn't running on our tour, too much disappointment! I know my kids would have loved that, as I was talking it up to them before the tour. The observatory was magical at Fish feeding times! Everything was swimming by! Fitzroy island was amazing, so beautiful. Be sure to pack reef shoes or Sandals so you don't hurt your feet! Lunch was so good - food taste great! We walked to Nudey Beach- which is so pretty. No one was wearing stinger suits there, but they were at the beach where the boat docks at. The walk through the rainforest to get to Nudey beach was fun, a lot of climbing up and down rock stairs and boulders. The boat to and from the reef & island was great! Staff were really nice and give you a royal farewell when you finish the tour! Highly recommend the tour.

I do not recommend this tour

Patrick 27 January 2025

I bought a full day tour that said it included several activities for kids even web page ( Semi-submersible tour, Glass bottom boat tour, Underwater observatory, etc) but none of that happened, everything had to be paid for separately. Lunch was included but of poor quality, the place was full, there was nowhere to sit and little food to choose from. I definitely do not recommend this tour and I would not take it again. I think that for that price there were better alternatives that really fulfilled what was offered. Included in your tour Snorkelling & equipment
