Green Island daytrip
Absolutely awesome day trip. Water was on the cooler side of warm but excellent snorkling, best at high tide, you may have to snorkel in shallow waters if you don't want to walk on the coral. Excellent sealife, saw starfish, 2 sharks lots of colourful fish and huge fish also. Walked around the island took a whole 27 minutes. There were lifesavers in the patrolled area. Birdlife on the island was great. However I didn't see the aquarium at the end of the pier. The boat trip was comfortable, we stopped to watch whales cross infront of us. Well worth it. I'd do it again.

Great Discounted Prices - Green Island
We purchased discounted online tickets for the Full Day Green Island Ferry (Big Cat Cruises). Excellent service and nice and comfortable ride to the Island. Lots of beautiful fish and a nice reef to explore around the pier. The beach side has more sea grass and turtles. Reasonably priced drinks and free drinking water on board. The ferry stays on the Island, so you can use the facilities and store your belonging for the day. Highly recommend!

So glad I only paid $70 thru bookme
I would never go again! Biggest regret was the tide went out within an hour of being there so nowhere to snorkel or even cool off with a swim.( so glad I didn’t pay for any extras!!) The ferry was packed with 99% asians spewing into bags, the staff were all giving announcements in what I guess was Chinese, the ferry aircon was so cold I had to stand outside in the wind to warm up,the $2 coffee was lukewarm warm and when I asked for a hot replacement was told abruptly “we have no control over temperature “, the island was crowded, chaotic ,expensive ,dirty and smelly , I went on three boats/ ferry over the week I was there and the other two were brilliant and would go again ( Fitzroy flyer and Seastar) on a more positive note I did get to see a turtle from the back of the boat just on departure and the feeding of trevally by the marine biologist, who spoke English which was appreciated!!

Fantastic day on the Island
Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, despite the weather being untoward. The crew were professional, punctual and informative. Would definitely recommend. Lovely, relaxing day on the Island.

A Top Day!
We had a smooth trip with smiling attentive crew to a magical place! Green Island offers day trippers so much! Food, swimming pool, and a patrolled sandy beach as well as a variety of snorkeling experiences. Not to mention the beautiful turtles ❤️
