    Why isn't foxys open for food when the first ferry arrives? But can serve alcohol? Disappointing as we left home early to make the early ferry, only to find it was not available for food

    The cruise departed on time from Cairns to Fitzroy Island and returned as scheduled. The crew was friendly, helpful, and made the trip very enjoyable. The island is beautiful, and the snorkeling was so much fun, we loved watching the turtles and colourful fish. We would definitely love to come back!
