Discover a slice of paradise during this day excursion to Green Island departing from Cairns. Immerse yourself in the vibrant underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef through an unforgettable snorkeling experience!

Options for Your Day Trip

Upon reservation, you can opt for one of two exciting formats. Both commence at the Reef Fleet Terminal and come with the benefit of an English-speaking guide, as well as snorkeling gear rental. Below are the specifics of each choice:

4-Hour Excursion

We will gather at the Cairns port, where we'll board a speedboat for a scenic journey to Green Island, approximately an hour’s ride away. Upon arrival, you will have time to wander through the island's lush rainforest and relax on the pristine white sand beaches, all situated within the renowned Great Barrier Reef National Park.

Additionally, you may select between two exciting activities: snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters or a half-hour excursion on a semi-submarine, where you can observe colorful coral and marine life without getting wet.

At the end of your adventure, we’ll return to Cairns by speedboat, concluding the tour.

7.5-Hour Excursion

For those seeking a more extensive experience at Green Island, this option is perfect. We'll set sail from the Cairns pier aboard a catamaran, and once we reach Green Island, you will enjoy 5 hours to discover the islands at your leisure.

In addition, you can choose to rent snorkeling equipment or enjoy a 30-minute semi-submarine boat ride. Please be aware that on the day of the tour, you may select only one of these optional activities.

After your time on the island, we will return to Cairns after 7.5 hours.
