What to expect

Set sail from Cairns at 9:00 am aboard a modern catamaran for a full-day adventure to Green Island National Park, a tropical paradise in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. Relax on deck during the scenic journey before spending around five hours enjoying the island’s pristine beauty.

Once on Green Island, stroll along rainforest boardwalks, unwind on sandy beaches, or swim in the clear lagoon waters. With included snorkelling gear, you can explore vibrant coral gardens and encounter tropical marine life up close. For a more relaxed reef experience, choose an optional semi-submarine or glass-bottom boat tour to admire colourful fish and coral without getting wet.

You’ll also have the option to add a buffet lunch, making your island day even more enjoyable. With plenty of time to swim, snorkel, walk, or simply relax, Green Island is the perfect combination of reef and rainforest. Return to Cairns Marina at approximately 5:00 pm after a memorable day in paradise.

Lunch was delicious. I wish we had more time to spot the marine fauna from the glass-bottom boat.
