Fitzroy Island houses its own Scuba center staffed by friendly and knowledgable Dive Masters and Dive Instructors. Reservations can be made in advance or on the island if space is available. The center has it's own small boat which they use to take you to only the best spots near the island. The fauna of undersea life is beautiful and the water can be quite clear.
Prices for the dive are reasonable, but check the website for current prices. Most importantly, remember to bring your certification card.
Equipment: All you need is your certification card and a bathing suit. They will provide the rest.

Surprisingly enough, there are some nice trails to hike on Fitzroy Island. It seems the most traversed is the one leading to the nudey beach. Perhaps it's because of the short distance or maybe it's because of other reasons. Well it is certainly not the only trail and all of them take you through lush rainforest that is sure to make you feel like you're out on a jungle safari. Take the time to dedicate a couple of hours at least to enjoy the vegetation and fauna of the island.
Equipment: A nice pair of sneakers, and some regular clothes should do. Bring water though.. you'll need it. Bug repellent might be a good idea too.
