Green Island Snorkelling & Glass-Bottom Boat Tour – Great Adventures
Discover Green Island on a day tour from Cairns with fast catamaran transfers. Swim, snorkel, and relax on coral sand beaches, explore rainforest trails, and enjoy included snorkelling gear and glass bottom boat tours. Choose from two daily departure times.
Experience a memorable day exploring Green Island, a unique coral cay in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, departing from Cairns. Begin your journey with a 45-minute fast catamaran transfer, enjoying complimentary tea and coffee before departure at the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal.
On arrival, immerse yourself in Green Island's remarkable rainforest environment or relax on its white coral sand beaches. Collect your snorkelling equipment on the island and dive straight in from the lifeguard-patrolled shore, or visit the Day Visitor Swimming Pool for a freshwater swim. An Eco Island Walk booklet is available for a self-guided stroll through the lush rainforest.
Your Discovery fare also includes a glass-bottom boat tour. Arrange the time with the crew or island Information Counter for a view of the coral and marine life without getting wet. Optional activities, such as scuba diving, snorkel excursions, Seawalker helmet diving, parasailing, and scenic helicopter flights, may also be available.
Choose from two departure times: check in at 08:00 or 10:00, with vessel boarding, then depart at 08:30 or 10:30. After your day of adventure, return to Cairns with departures from Green Island at 14:30 or 16:30. Lunch and refreshments are available for purchase from on-island outlets.
