Green Island Morning Half-Day Tour – Big Cat
Depart Cairns at 9:00 am for around 2.5 hours on Green Island. Return transfers are included; choose the relevant package for snorkel hire or a glass-bottom boat tour.
Visit Green Island in the morning and return to Cairns with the afternoon still available. The shorter island stay suits travellers who want a beach and reef outing without committing their whole day.
Your island time
Travel aboard Reef Rocket, with an approximate 45-minute crossing each way. The scheduled departure from Cairns is 9:00 am, returning at 12:45 pm, giving you around 2.5 hours on the island.
Once ashore, choose between the beach, a self-guided rainforest boardwalk and snorkelling from the shore. Wildlife sightings vary naturally. With limited time ashore, combining a long walk, a meal and several activities may feel rushed.
Choose your package carefully
The base booking covers return transport. Snorkel equipment and glass-bottom boat tours are included only when the selected package says so. You can bring your own snorkel gear; meals and other activities cost extra. Big Cat does not offer scuba diving on this tour.
