Great trip

Green island was full of surprises for me. A Small island less than a hour from Cairns, a beautiful pram friendly boardwalk, plenty of food choices, coffee, snacks, clothing and reef adventure tours. A Sandy beach with safe swimming area and surf lifesavers on watch. Big Cat Reef Adventures provided a beautiful arge safe sturdy vessel and the staff looked after you all the way. Snacks available on board and extras depending on what you have booked.

Green island ferry and outer island snorkel.

The staff are fantastic..so friendly and super helpful. Harry and Andrieous are such lovely people. So are the rest of the staff. Fantastic the boat stayed at the Island for the day so we couks go back for coffee a rest and lunch. Harry and Andrieous look at TikTok 'ourbackyardnz" to see more fishing experiences my son has done in NZ. Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. Loved the outer reef snorkel with marine biologist Andre. Sorry don't know how to spell your name. Thank to all three if you who came out on the snorkel trip with us. Such awesome freindly people.

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 ❤️

Timing

The Island is beautiful, but the ferry was very slow, we arrive at 10:30 and we need to come back to the boat at 3:45. Around 5 hours in the island I would not call it a full day trip. Apologize for giving 3 stars but this trip should finish at 4:30 if it's expected to arrive at 10:30. Like others companies does. So that would made around 6 hours in the island, much better.
