Overview

This tour includes a fast catamaran ride of about 45 minutes from Cairns to Green Island, a coral cay formed around 6,000 years ago. It is the only coral cay in the Great Barrier Reef with a rainforest. Visitors can snorkel from the white sandy beaches and view the island’s reef from a glass bottom boat. The tour lasts between five and nine hours, with full and half-day options available. Guests have access to the island’s swimming pool exclusive to Great Adventures visitors, as well as a self-guided walk through the rainforest to see more than 120 native plant species and local birds. Island day visitor facilities include a pool bar, a restaurant, and retail outlets. Lunch and snacks are available for purchase. Morning tea or coffee is served on board before departure from Cairns. Snorkelling equipment and a free beach bag are included along with return transfers on the fast catamaran. The tour allows participants to tailor their day to be as active or relaxed as they prefer, making use of the island’s natural environment and visitor amenities. Hotel pickup and drop off are not included, and surcharges on fuel may apply. Participants should inform the crew of any medical conditions as snorkelling can be physically demanding.
