Spend a relaxed half day on Green Island, a 6,000-year-old coral cay covered in rainforest inside the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park World Heritage Area. Your trip starts at the Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns, where you check in with Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises and board a spacious catamaran. On the way out, a reef presentation and a snorkelling demonstration help you get ready for the water. Once you arrive, you have about two hours on the island to relax on white sandy beaches and soak up the sun. Choose snorkelling gear hire and snorkel straight off the beach, or take a glass-bottom boat tour to see the colourful marine life below. Two departures are available: the 9:00 AM cruise leaves the island around 12:00 PM and is back in Cairns at about 1:00 PM, while the 1:00 PM cruise leaves the island around 4:00 PM and is back at about 5:00 PM. With about four hours from start to finish, it is an easy way to see the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns.
