Lovely day out to Green Island the boat transfer was fun. Went snorkelling then went to the croc farm. The glass boat was amazing with an amazing tour guide.It ends with another boat transfer home.
The half day Cruise to Green Island was amazing. If you are bringing little ones please note that the boat is smaller and the water can get rough. They have an amazing croc farm tour on the island very entertaining tour guide. The snorkelling is amazing if you don't want to snorkel the glass boat is an amazing option as we got to see so many different size fish and even turtles. Overall half day Green Island was enough for a good day out.
Nice short trip. Go for snorkelling, chill a bit and head back to Cairns.
Snorkelling with sea turtles and hops of fish swimming near the jetty. Half a day was enough for me to enjoy that little island. Apart from that, had a walk around and took a few pictures here and there. Again come for snorkeling, you won't be disappointed, do check before if there is a need to wetsuit as there might be jellyfish in the water.
It was the perfect day and the island was awesome. But a half day tour when you are only on the island for 2 hours is too short.
It was the perfect day and the island was awesome. But a half day tour when you are only on the island for 2 hours is too short, and is not a half day. No time to explore or eat. Then had to walk between beaches as well. Can't see how you can really relax and enjoy when all of it. If you are paying for half a day you should get at least 4 to 5 hours. The boat over should not be part of the time.
