Super

C'est la deuxième fois que je prends ce bateau pour me rendre sur Fitzroy et cette fois ci le bateau a bien mis 45min, il y avait pas mal de vagues et de vent, mais rien à redire. Le crew est au top, parfait.

S'échapper de Cairns pour le petit paradis

Journée magnifique sur une petite île qui regorge de si nombreux Trésors. Seul bémol : la durée du trajet pour s'y rendre n'est pas de 45 50 minutes mais bien d'une heure et demi. Ce qui au final fait perdre du temps sur l'île. N'hésitez pas à vous y rendre !!!

Prenez le ferry

Le trajet prend + de 1h30 et non 45 minutes comme indiqué. Mauvaise indication du lieu dans le mail. Trop de temps passer sur le bateau par rapport au temps passé sur l’ile. Si vous voulez partir à Fitzroy prenez le ferry
