Green Island & Great Barrier Reef Adventure

Features

Overview

An ancient coral cay, Green Island is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and offers a wonderful unique natural environment where rainforest meets the beach. Enjoy the beauty of both on this memorable tour from Great Adventures. Departing from Cairns, this outer reef cruise sails to Green Island aboard a high-speed catamaran with all the modern comforts.

It's amazing just how much you can fit into your 2-hour stopover on Green Island including relaxing rainforest walks, lazing on the beach soaking up the sun, snorkelling and even the unique experience of a Seawalker helmet which allows you to stroll along the ocean floor.

It's then onto the Great Adventures activity platform set on the edge of the outer reef where you'll enjoy a buffet lunch served on the undercover pontoon complete with bar facilities. There is also a sun deck, scuba diving facilities, semi-submarine tour and change room facilities.

Spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the facilities and environment with snorkelling and diving tours as well an underwater observatory allowing you to get up close and personal with the stunning coral and abundant marine life any way you choose.
