This fantastic Eco adventure to Green Island gives you the choice of how you’d like to spend your day and even what time frames to spend it in! With a huge range of fun activities including exclusive options, you’ll never want to leave!

• Get to Green Island fast on an air-conditioned catamaran cruise and enjoy morning tea and coffee on board
• Enjoy free use of day visitor facilities at the resort
• Take a self-guided Eco island walk or a dip in the resort pool – both exclusive activities
• Choose between a glass bottomed boat viewing or snorkelling equipment
• Make your full or half day active or relaxing – the choice is completely yours!

Arriving at Cairns’ Reef Fleet Terminal* (1 Spence St) around 45 minutes prior to departure to check in, jump aboard an air conditioned fast catamaran for up to seven hours of dreamy delights on Green Island. Departure times are at 8:30 am, 10:30 am or 1 pm daily, so you can choose the time that best suits you. With only a 45-minute trip to this spectacular coral cay on the Great Barrier Reef, you’ll have plenty of spare time to explore the island’s 6000-year-old landscapes of white sanded bays and lush rainforests, as well as the colourful reef and modern well-appointed amenities.

During your full or half day experience, there are a huge number of options to keep you and your travelling companions entertained, or to help them relax in the lap of paradise. Swim in the crystal clear waters, play beach games or stroll along the shoreline, do some snorkelling and marvel at the hidden underwater wonderland of colourful corals and a plenitude of sea life. If you’d prefer to stay dry, you can opt for a glass bottom boat coral viewing tour or an exclusive self-guided Eco Island walk.

Because this tour entitles you to some VIP benefits, you’re also able to use the island’s cool, clear swimming pool and the day visitor facilities, such as the dive shop, pool bar and gift shop. When you’re feeling peckish, you have a wide range of dining options. Whether you feel like a burger and chips, a sandwich, a hot or cold buffet or a top notch restaurant meal, you‘ll have no trouble finding a food or drinks outlet that will cater to your tastes.

If these activities aren’t enough for you, there are a number of optional extras you can take advantage of at your own cost. You could try some exciting parasailing, a scenic helicopter flight, a scuba dive, or a guided snorkelling excursion. You can also opt to visit the phenomenal and unique Marineland Melanesia, where you’ll see artefacts, crocodiles and more.

This Advanced Ecotourism accredited tour has three return options to Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal, at 12:50 pm, 3:20 pm or 5:20 pm. Upon your return, you can opt for coach transfer to your accommodation for an additional fee.
