Poor condition. Smoking area right near entrance- really? Don't feed the animals or equivalent signs posted, but never enforced.
The tour to Green Island Bay was very enjoyable. We went aboard the catamaran and it took us about 45mins to get there. Once there, we were transferred to glass bottom boat. We were amazed to see the different species of fish, including green back turtles. After the boat tour, we were given sufficient time to explore the island. Some of the people went on scuba diving and others explored the beach and made a good use of the soft silvery sand. This island tour is surely to be remembered for its pristine marine,coral and beach. I recommend for everyone on their visit to Cairns to visit the Green Island.
Large amount of people at sights making any type of swimming or snorkelling difficult.
Staff was very friendly and gave us tips on locations to snorkel and what we would see. Had a wonderful experience. Saw much more sea life including 3 sharks than I thought we would. Boat was very crowded, and lunch onboard was just ok for the price, considering the amount of people you had to wrangle around in order to get a plate. All in all, I recommend this tour. Was a great day!
Green island is pretty, and a beautiful place to swim/snorkel. Unfortunately, we didn't see much while snorkeling, so while relaxing, you likely need to go further out if you want to experience more marine life. I only did a half day on the island, which was more than enough for me. They have a pool and some outdoor cafes, shops, a massage place, etc., so you could make a day of it if you're interested.
We did not enjoy Green Island since we did not snorkel. The island was overcrowded and we thought we could enjoy the hotel, but it was off limits. Way too touristy for us. The catamaran and the glass bottom boat were fine, but we wish we would have just stayed and walk about Cairns.
I was a great sight seeing trip for the simple city that it is. Interesting day.
