Green Island Day Trip from Cairns Including Snorkel Tour Experience

Check in at the centrally located Reef Fleet Terminal in the morning to confirm the time of your snorkel tour experience. Then board a high-speed catamaran for Green Island, located just 15 nautical miles (27 km) offshore from Cairns.

The coral cay of Green Island, covered by lush rainforest and sandy white beaches, comprises both a national park and marine park and is part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area — home to sea anemones, stingrays, giant clams, and green and hawksbill sea turtles.

Morning tea or coffee is served on board, while beverages are available for purchase all day from the licensed bar (own expense). In the afternoon, enjoy a buffet lunch, if option selected.

On arrival, your crew provides snorkeling instruction and suggests a variety of included activities in addition to the snorkel tour experience. You can take a glass-bottom boat tour, snorkeling tour or a guided rainforest walk.

At your alloted time, you will join your snorkel tour experience. During this 45 minute session you will practice using your equipment in the shallow waters at Green Island straight off the beach. Once you are comfortable you will explore the coral gardens with the assistance of an experienced snorkeler. Maximum 4 people per guide, includes Snorkel Equipment (Mask & Fins), Lycra Suit and Floatation

Back on dry land, make use of the shower, restrooms and changing room facilities at the Green Island Resort. Canoes, sailboards, surf skis, beach chair and umbrellas are also available to rent before you’re returned to Cairns at the end of the day.
