Yes. Two hours gives you time to enjoy one main activity, such as snorkelling from the beach, together with a rainforest walk or some time relaxing by the water. The day then continues with three hours at the Outer Reef platform, so you can experience both the island and the outer reef without using separate days.

Yes. There is plenty to enjoy without entering deep water. At Green Island, you can explore the rainforest boardwalks, relax on the beach or enjoy the island surroundings. At the Outer Reef platform, the included semi-submersible tour and underwater observatory let you see coral and marine life while staying dry.

Yes. The combination of Green Island beach time, a stable Outer Reef platform and included dry reef-viewing activities makes the day suitable for families with different ages and swimming abilities. Children can enjoy the beach, look for marine life through the underwater observatory and join the semi-submersible reef tour.

Yes. Snorkelling equipment is included at Green Island and the Outer Reef, with demonstrations and safety guidance provided during the day. Green Island offers beach access and a lifeguard-patrolled swimming area, while the Outer Reef platform has a dedicated snorkelling entry point, lifeguard supervision and buoyancy vests available. Lycra suits are included at the Outer Reef platform. They are available for hire separately on Green Island.

Green Island offers relaxed, beach-based snorkelling around its fringing reef and seagrass habitat. You can enter from the shore and choose how much time you want to spend in the water. At the Outer Reef, you enter from the activity platform and swim towards coral gardens in deeper, open reef water. Doing both gives you two different reef settings in the same day.

A hot and cold buffet lunch is served at the Outer Reef platform, generally between approximately 1pm and 2.30pm. You can take a break from the reef activities and enjoy lunch at the platform’s tables, with both shaded seating and an open sundeck available.

The journey uses large, stable fast catamarans designed for open-water travel. If you are usually sensitive to motion, taking your preferred seasickness remedy before departure can help you enjoy the day more comfortably. Motion sickness tablets are also available onboard.
