What people say
It was the most romantic experience of my life, we sat on that gorgeous island, with the water lapping at our feet as we sipped wine and he proposed. Truly amazing. Fatima island is highly recommended definitely will be back
Lots to do on this island, but my favourite activity was the snorkelling! Only downside is that my doctor told me I now have 6 months to live
Such a serene place to sit around the water and adore the beauty of nature. Love it!!
It's my first time to visit this place, I thought to use ship or fery to arrive this place, but Im wrong. This island really small, not like an island, and I saw, the word that make you sad. Please everyone keep this place and never distroy or whatever you called! View around this place really awesome. You can see birds, dam, train, Park. I really like it. Enjoy your afternoon by yourself or with your love.
Sydney's best kept secret - nestled in the idyllic waters of the cooks river Fatima Island is isolated, yet still close to shopping, transport and restaurant. If I could give it 6 stars I would!
