Very organised , friendly staff , great value.
This was the highlight of my Queensland trip! In hindsight I wish we’d booked the full day trip as we didn’t know what to expect on the island and it felt a little rushed but having said that we thoroughly enjoyed it , especially the glass bottom boat and spotting the whales and turtles was a bonus !
Excellent experience which you never want to miss.
Very lovely and friendly staff. We had fun on the glass bottom boat and snorkelling. When I initially started using the snorkelling equipment, I had a lot of trouble getting used to it, but eventually I got the hang of it and was able to witness fish and corals up close. It is highly recommended.
What you can expect
Spend half the day exploring the beautiful Green Island on the Great Barrier Reef with a half day tour departing Cairns at 9am. Aboard the luxurious catamaran, 'Reef Rocket', you'll make your way over to Green Island, a coral cay on the reef which is just a short 45 minute journey from the mainland.
Once you've reached the island you'll be able to enjoy a total of 2 hours exploring the tropical rainforest on the island and the reef surrounding. With optional complimentary snorkelling equipment to use during your stay on the island or a ride on the glass bottom boat to see the reef from a dry, comfortable position.
Tours will return to Cairns by 12:45pm, giving you more than enough time to explore more of the region's popular attractions. Book your half day tour to Green Island online today to avoid missing out.

Highly recommend this half day trip on Green Island!!!!
I had a great time on Green Island—many thanks to Experience Oz for the fabulous trip. We were well looked after, and we even got a free ice cream on the boat. I highly recommend this half day if you want to enjoy the rest of the afternoon sitting by the pool.
