Green Island & Outer Reef Cruise – Great Adventures

9 hours

Combine around two hours on Green Island with three hours at an outer reef pontoon. Snorkelling, semi-submersible tours, an observatory and buffet lunch are included.

See an island and the outer reef in the same day with Great Adventures. This combined itinerary gives you around two hours on Green Island before continuing to an outer reef activity platform for approximately three hours.

Two settings, one day

On Green Island, keep your plans focused: spend time on the beach, snorkel or walk the rainforest boardwalks. At the pontoon, the emphasis shifts to the reef, with snorkel equipment and instruction, semi-submersible tours and an underwater observatory included.

The dry-viewing activities give non-swimmers ways to take part, while the platform offers a base between sessions in the water. A hot and cold buffet lunch and refreshments are included.

This tour suits travellers who value variety over a long stay in one place. Optional diving and guided snorkelling add to the cost and need to fit the available schedule. Green Island and pontoon equipment is collected and returned separately.
