Choose your island day Ferry transfers, snorkelling and coral viewing
Green Island combines a coral-cay setting with rainforest walks and a choice of activities close to shore. Travel from Cairns with Great Adventures and choose how much to include in your ticket: a return ferry, an Eco Adventure with one activity, or a Discovery package with both snorkelling equipment and a glass-bottom boat tour.
For a different day, combine a Green Island stop with an outer reef pontoon visit. That package divides your time between two locations, while an island-only ticket gives you more flexibility on Green Island. Compare departure times, return times and equipment inclusions before booking, especially if snorkelling or staying dry is your priority.
Green Island tour questions
What is the difference between Eco Adventure and Discovery?
Eco Adventure includes a choice of snorkelling equipment hire or a glass-bottom boat tour. Discovery includes both. Return ferry transfers are included in both packages; check the selected fare for the departure and return times.
Compare Green Island Snorkelling or Glass-Bottom Boat Tour – Great Adventures and Green Island Snorkelling & Glass-Bottom Boat Tour – Great Adventures for the different options.
What does the ferry-only ticket include?
The transfer-only option provides return boat travel and the advertised basic inclusions. Do not assume snorkelling gear or a glass-bottom boat tour is included. Choose the corresponding activity package or arrange optional extras separately.
Can I see coral without snorkelling?
Choose a package with a glass-bottom boat tour to view coral and marine life without entering the water. Discovery includes it alongside snorkelling gear, while Eco Adventure lets you choose it instead of the equipment. Boat tours run to a schedule, so arrange your time with the crew or island Information Counter.
Should I choose Green Island only or the island and outer reef combination?
An island-only tour keeps the day centred on Green Island, with more freedom around its beaches, walks and activities. The combination adds an outer reef pontoon stop and divides the day between the island and reef. Compare the itinerary and time at each location before deciding.
How do I book a Green Island tour online?
Choose ferry-only, the snorkelling-or-glass-bottom-boat option, or the package including both activities. Open the tour above and check your date, passenger options and return time through Book Now. Use your confirmation for final check-in instructions, and contact our team if you need booking help.
How much does a Green Island tour cost?
Compare the current total for your date and passenger ages. Check activity inclusions before comparing prices: ferry-only, Eco Adventure and Discovery provide different experiences. Meals and additional activities should only be treated as included when your selected fare lists them.
Can a family with swimmers and non-swimmers enjoy Green Island?
Choose a package around the activities each person wants. A glass-bottom boat option provides coral viewing without snorkelling, while an equipment package suits those planning to enter the water. Check activity schedules, participation requirements and child fares before booking.
