Amazing crew on the Sunlover both to and from the location and the most amazing day at Fitzroy Island.

The staff are amazing, as is the whole trip and everything you see! They take you to the most beautiful areas where the water is so clear!
Awesome experience

Thank you to the wonderful crew on board the boat. Each and every one of you were fantastic. Highly recommend this tour group. Alas my daughter got sea sick, but each and every crew member who assist did so with compassion and kindness. The crew were so informative of the island and what to do and clearly loved their jobs.
Staff made safety fun

The staff on this trip made it great. They gave a funny little safety talk that even had the kids interested. The staff were very attentive and accommodating. Just wished we had of chosen to go out to reef instead of the island as it was a wet rainy day with poor visibility in the water. Apparently the outer reef was clear as a bell, only hard part was getting out there in the rough seas!
Fitzroy is lovely

Expensive for boat trip, website misleading. Thought sun lover provided glass bottom boat and semi sun but this was only available for Moore reef. Even when I asked desk staff at check in they told me it will be weather dependent if it runs, not that it isn’t at Fitzroy at all. We had a great day snorkling but the cruise company was a let down.
