Great Adventures Green Island Eco Adventure

Take a speedy catamaran from Cairns and enjoy a memorable eco-adventure which takes in the Great Barrier Reef and also visits the tropical Green Island where snorkelling and hiking opportunities await.

Surrounded by a reef filled with diverse marine life, and home to a unique rainforest environment, Green Island awaits to provide you with a memorable holiday experience.

Take part in all the activities that the island has to offer or relax on the beach and let your day unfold in this tropical paradise. Stroll through magical rainforest, laze on white coral sand beaches, swim, dive or snorkel.

Once onboard the catamaran, you will enjoy complimentary morning tea and coffee before departing Cairns for an exciting 45-minute journey to the picturesque Green Island.

At your destination, how you choose to spend the time is up to you. Maybe go snorkelling or take a glass-bottom boat coral viewing tour? Take a dip in the island's swimming pool?

Alternatively, why not explore the island's 120 native plant species on a self-guided Eco Island Walk? One thing is for sure, surrounded by coral gardens and an abundance of marine life, you won't forget this fantastic day tour.

Optional Activities (additional cost, booked locally)

There’s a wide range of additional activities to experience on Green Island.

Scuba dive, join a snorkel excursion and even walk underwater with Seawalker helmet diving. For an exhilarating top-side perspective of the reef, there are parasailing and scenic helicopter flights too! There’s even the Marineland Melanesia Crocodile Habitat with daily crocodile shows.
