This sort of honeymoon is just what Fitzroy Island is all about! Let us tell you now exactly why a romantic tropical honeymoon on Fitzroy Island is the ultimate way to start your journey of married life together.

Spectacular Tropical Location

Fitzroy Island’s truly amazing location is just one of the things that makes it such an incredible location for a romantic honeymoon in paradise. Located just 45 minutes via Fast Cat off the coast of Cairns in Tropical Far North Queensland, Fitzroy Island is easy to access yet shall also have you feeling like you are a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Fly into Cairns Domestic and International Airport and after just a 10-minute drive, you shall arrive at the Cairns Marina, ready to board Fitzroy Island’s Fast Cat (which departs numerous times per day).

Not only is Fitzroy Island 97% National Park (a stunning mix of rainforest vegetation and coastal woodlands), it is also located right in the heart of the infamous and magnificent Great Barrier Reef, meaning snorkelling and scuba diving the reef that surrounds Fitzroy Island is as simple as swimming straight from the shore!

No matter what time of year you wish to honeymoon, Fitzroy Island experiences delightful, balmy weather year-round, thanks to its far northern and tropical location (the Australian winter is in fact peak season in Tropical Far North Queensland, thanks to its outstanding weather conditions).

Resort Pool and Spa: Relaxing with your new husband or wife by the resort pool and spa is a must-do honeymoon activity.
