Green Island Reef Cruise - gita di mezza giornata da Cairns

Rough seas, most of the people were sick

Unfortunately the weather was very rough on the crossings and rain inhibited total enjoyment. However, the staff were very attentive, looking after those who were sick, and making sure we were all ok. Sadly the water was murky but the fish still came out to say hello on the semi submerged boat. One suggestion the snorkel and flipper set would have been more enjoyable if it came in a string bag, we kept dropping them as we walked around. Thank you for a memorable experience especially the American hippy pirate who kept me laughing when I wanted to cry on the way over.

Such a great family experience for school holidays! I had two adults and one 10 year old and one 5 year old that absolutely loved it. The best experience and can tick it off the bucket list. Would do again!

Amazing day snorkelling with Turtles, schools of fish and the odd reef shark, life changing

We booked a half day Snorkel on Green Island. Once we arrived at the Island we were told they didnt have our snorkeling equipment and we would have to wait until the next boat arrived an hour later to get our equipment or we could take a glass bottom boat instead. The only issue is when you book a half day tour you really only get 2 two hours on the island due to transit time so half of our time was lost due to their error. We ended up just taking the glass bottom boat because once we received our equipment and getting back to the beach we would have not had any time to actually Snorkel before we would have to meet to head back. Extremely disappointed in our experience.

Not much assistance was given on where to meet for specific activities; every other person we asked provided a different answer. Fewer activities were offered for this time of year. The resort area was very tourist-y and it made me want to leave the island immediately.

Came when it was raining and there is barely any cover when you’re waiting for your glass bottom boat tour. We all got soaked The island itself is small, limited shops and food options. Nice beach area.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience on the half-day tour! From the moment we boarded, the staff were friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive. I was especially impressed with how they cared for passengers who were feeling seasick, checking on them and offering support throughout the trip. The glass-bottom boat tour was a definite highlight. The commentary was informative and engaging, and everyone on board shared in the excitement when we spotted turtles. It was such a special experience to see the reef and marine life up close. The half-day tour was the perfect length for our three-year-old and for us as a family. We never felt rushed, but it also wasn’t too long for little ones. Everything was well organised, enjoyable, and family-friendly.

Beautiful day. Good facilities on the island.

We booked the half-day Green Island excursion because all we really wanted was the transportation to/from the island; while there, we wanted to do our own thing. That’s exactly what this was. Notably: due to a mutual miscommunication that was really no one’s fault outright, we figured we would try to be compensated to some degree. We spoke to the representative and explained the situation. She handled it very professionally, she asked a few questions, gently explained her side of things, we spoke like human beings should speak to each other. Without significant delay they decided to make things right. We were very pleased with the way the situation was handled.
