It was a great trip on the water there and back, great day ,plenty of fish and turtles, even seen a reef shark. I wish the captain would of given some commentary about the surroundings e ect besides how long we will take to get to reef and back to the mainland. Besides that , half day tour was enough time for what we went to see.

Your Experience

Dreamy beaches, azure waters, and endless sunshine: these are the ingredients of a great tropical vacation, and you can find all this and more at Green Island! Your half-day tour will take you from Cairns to the island, which is located on the Great Barrier Reef - one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Simply step aboard the 'Reef Rocket' and cruise to the reef, located just 45 minutes from the mainland.

Once you reach the island, spend 2hrs 15mins exploring the tropical rainforest on the island and the reef surrounding. You can choose to use snorkeling equipment during your stay on the island, or enjoy a ride on the glass-bottom boat to see the reef from a dry, comfortable position. Tours will return to Cairns by 12:45 PM, so you will have more than enough time to explore the island's popular attractions!
