Nice island with good coral

There is a lot to do and see on Fitzroy. Snorkelling, glass bottom boat tours, beaches and hikes! 
The staff were friendly and helpful and I did the glass bottom boat tour which was very informative. Then stopped at the bar for lunch and a drink. And finished the trip by exploring the walking trails it’s a bit of a mission to the top but well worth it such a beautiful place!
