About
Dating back 6,000 years, the lush Green Island was formed as waves deposited sand on to the corals of the Great Barrier Reef. Today, it’s a popular spot with tourists who come on Great Barrier Reef tours from Cairns. Get ready for snorkelling, swimming and sunbathing to your heart’s content…
‘‘The island is beautiful. I could see schools of colourful fishes from the jetty and a turtle from the glass bottom boat.’’— Van, The Netherlands
After pick-up from your accommodation, we’ll board the Green Island Big Cat ferry and cruise from Cairns across idyllic tropical waters while enjoying a snorkelling demonstration and insightful reef presentation.
Once we arrive at the Island, you can choose to board a glass bottom boat or go on a Green Island snorkelling tour. During either experience, you’ll meet the majestic sea creatures of the Great Barrier Reef which may include fish, octopus and turtles!
After time enjoying the spectacular island, this Cairns half day tour will wrap up by 1pm or 5pm depending whether you choose a morning or afternoon departure. See you in paradise!
‘‘I was in awe at the colourful fish and coral. The island has food and gorgeous beaches.’’ — Denise, Seattle
