Begin your adventure at the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal. After a quick check-in, you’ll board the Big Cat—a roomy, air-conditioned catamaran with open viewing decks and family-friendly facilities. Sail across the Coral Sea on a smooth 45-minute ride to Green Island. Along the way, the crew will deliver a fun reef presentation and snorkeling demonstration to help you get the most out of your time on the water.
Explore your way
Once on Green Island, you’ll have over five hours to explore at your own pace. Stroll the shady rainforest boardwalks, snorkel straight off the beach, or relax by the shore while the kids build sandcastles.
Throughout the day, the Big Cat stays docked nearby—your go-to base for bathroom breaks, snacks, and air-conditioned downtime. It’s ideal for families who want the freedom to take breaks between adventures.
Optional buffet lunch
If you’d like to make lunch easy, upgrade your ticket to include a buffet served in air-conditioned comfort. It’s a great way to keep the energy going without the fuss of packing meals.
Wrap up the day with a breezy cruise back to Cairns, sun-kissed and ready for a quiet evening or a beachside dinner.
