Duration
6-8 Hours
Spend a full day on Green Island, a 6,000-year-old coral cay covered in rainforest, inside the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park World Heritage Area in the Coral Sea. You board a spacious catamaran at the Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns for the 45-minute crossing to the island, and on the way the crew gives a reef presentation and a snorkelling demonstration. Once you arrive, the day is yours to soak in the sun and relax on the white sandy beach, or to discover the colourful reef with your choice of snorkelling gear straight off the beach or a ride on a glass-bottom boat. If you would rather stay dry and see more of the reef, choose an option with a semi-submarine tour, which takes you through the depths around the island in a semi-submersible watercraft. Pick the 9:00 AM departure for about five hours on the island, or the 11:00 AM departure for about four hours. Both cruises leave Green Island around 4:00 PM and arrive back in Cairns at about 5:00 PM.
