Easy check in with friendly staff, who accommodated by our needs to return early on the trip and to change our booking prior to travel.

Green Island-Tourist destination so be prepared for crowds. The island itself is quite incredible with the facilities available.

Great experience and very kind team always happy to help us

All the team was extremely kind and helpful. We had an amazing time! The gentleman that was giving tea and coffee was so nice. When we return was a little bit chaotic because there was so many people trying to get in and many of them end up sitting of the floor. That’s not good.

What you can expect

Visit Green Island from Cairns with this great value tour that will let you experience its best all in a single day! With the choice of two daily departure times from Cairns, the Green Island Eco Adventure is perfect for a visit to this beautiful Great Barrier Reef island. Offering a combined reef and rainforest experience on a fast catamaran, you’ll reach your island destination in just 45 minutes. This Green Island Eco Adventure gives you the choice of a glass bottom boat coral viewing tour OR snorkelling equipment to use during your stay on the island. Choose your way to experience the reef – stay dry and view from a glass bottom boat or choose to snorkel directly from the white sandy beaches.

As a guest, you’ll enjoy many exclusive inclusions such as the use of the island swimming pool and a self guided eco island walk to discover some of the island’s unique rainforest flora. The well-appointed day visitor facilities include a range of restaurant and café style lunch options. A wide range of optional activities includes scuba and helmet diving, snorkel trips, parasailing and scenic helicopter flights, so you'll have the choice to spend as much - or as little - as you wish. For an efficient and fun Green Island tour from Cairns, book online today.

I have a walker - every thing I did, the staff were amazing. Helped me on and off both catamaran and glass bottom boat. Very polite and always with a smile.

All the staff were amazing - helpful and with smile and a bit of a joke!! I have a walker, so all help is much appreciated. I was able to do everything I wanted to because of the help. Loved the island and the glass bottomed boat, enjoyed the hot chocolate and cake ( muffin!) and also the strawberry icecream!! All in all, a lovely day.
