Great Adventures Green Island Discovery Cruise

Green Island is a beautiful 6000-year-old coral cay located in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park – a premier world heritage site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Surrounded by a reef filled with diverse marine life, and home to a unique rainforest environment, Green Island awaits to provide you with a memorable holiday experience.

Take part in all the activities that the island has to offer or relax on the beach and let your day unfold in this tropical paradise. Stroll through magical rainforest, laze on white coral sand beaches, swim, dive or snorkel …

Once onboard the catamaran, you will enjoy complimentary morning tea and coffee before departing Cairns for an exciting 45-minute journey to the picturesque Green Island.

At your destination, how you choose to spend the time is up to you. Maybe go snorkelling or take a glass-bottom boat coral viewing tour? Laze on white coral sand beaches? Take a dip in the island's swimming pool? Alternatively, why not explore the island's 120 native plant species on a self-guided Eco Island Walk?

One thing is for sure, surrounded by coral gardens and an abundance of marine life, you won't forget this fantastic day tour.
