Cairns Green Island Half-Day or Full-Day Cruise

Take a high-speed catamaran
from Cairns to Green Island

Board an air-conditioned high-speed catamaran at Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal and head to Green Island. The trip takes about 45 minutes each way, and morning tea and coffee are served on board before departing Cairns.

Departures from Cairns are at 8:30 AM or 10:30 AM, and departures from Green Island are at 2:30 PM or 4:30 PM. Depending on the half-day or full-day option, you can enjoy up to 7 hours of free time on the island.

See the reef by glass bottom boat or snorkeling

With the glass bottom boat option, glide over the coral gardens with a guide and view the reef from the boat. With the snorkel equipment option, step right off Green Island's white sandy beach to explore the reef. If you're lucky, you may spot green sea turtles, colorful tropical fish and rays.

Relax on rainforest trails and by the island pool

The island is home to a rainforest with more than 120 native plant species. Walk the Green Island National Park trails and self-guided eco trail, and join the reef talk and island walk led by a marine biologist (exclusive to Great Adventures passengers).

Relax on the beach or take a swim in the island pool (exclusive to Great Adventures passengers). The island has facilities for day visitors, including showers, restrooms, shaded areas, a poolside bar, a dive shop and restaurants.

Add optional activities of your choice

Optional activities such as scuba diving (beginners and certified divers), a beach boat snorkel tour, Seawalker helmet diving, canoeing and scenic helicopter flights are available at an extra cost. You can also visit Marineland Melanesia, a crocodile habitat on the island.

※ Sea turtles and other wildlife live in their natural habitat, so sightings are not guaranteed.
※ Activities may be adjusted depending on sea conditions or visibility, and departures may be delayed or canceled if safety cannot be ensured.
