Fitzroy Island Summit

Highlights

Have you ever hiked up to the top of an island? The Fitzroy Island Summit is an awesome adventure waiting for you! The trail is 4km long and takes you through a rocky path surrounded by trees and wildlife. When you reach the summit, you’ll feel like an explorer as you look out at the sparkling waters of the Great Barrier Reef. The view is absolutely amazing!

After your hike, you can cool off by swimming in the reef’s crystal-clear waters. It’s like stepping into a giant tropical aquarium! Make sure to bring plenty of water and a camera to capture your adventure.

Adult Supervision Recommended

The trail is steep and rocky in some places, so it’s a good idea to have an adult with you to stay safe while exploring.
