Green Island

Only a 45-minute ride by fast catamaran from Cairns, Green Island and its reef are part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.

What makes Green Island unique is that it’s the only coral cay on the Great Barrier Reef with a rainforest. Explore the lush, tropical national park and its diverse plant and birdlife at your own leisure.

Top things to do:

• Book a Green Island Half-Day Tour or a Green Island Full Day Tour where you can:
  • Snorkel straight off the beach to explore the island's surrounding coral gardens and fringing reef.
  • Take a guided eco-walk around the island and discover rare wildlife and birdlife.
  • Laze on the island's beautiful white sandy beaches.
  • Swim in the ocean or the on-island swimming pool
  • Hop aboard the glass bottom boat tour to experience the wonders of the reef while staying dry, or enjoy a coral viewing semi-submersible submarine boat tour.
  • If you want a little more adventure, there’s kayaking, scuba diving, parasailing or walking underwater with Seawalker Helmet Diving on our popular Seawalker and Green Island Eco Adventure Tour.
• If you’re keen for a top end view of the island, we thoroughly recommend taking a scenic helicopter flight. Enjoy great $$$ savings with our Green Island Outer Reef and Helicopter Combo Package Deal. 

If you find you need more time to enjoy all the island has to offer and would like to extend your stay on Green Island, the luxurious four and a half star Green Island Resort is ideal for a romantic getaway, honeymoon or family holiday.   As a guest of Green Island Resort you can enjoy a range of complimentary inclusions and enjoy the tranquility of the Island after day visitors have returned to Cairns.

Green Island offers a unique eco experience and ensures a memorable holiday to Tropical North Queensland.
