The picturesque 838-acre Fitzroy Island is a continental island (as opposed to the other Great Barrier Reef islands that are coral cays) about 18 nautical miles southeast of Cairns. This designated national park is accessible via high-speed catamaran, and once there you can join up with a Raging Thunder kayak tour that guides you to remote and uncrowded private beaches. These half-day tours include snorkeling equipment, guided lighthouse walks, a hearty picnic lunch on the sand, and all instruction (no paddling experience necessary). The crystal clear waters will make you want to set up a shack and never leave.
