Reviews: Cairns: Green Island Snorkelling or Glass Bottom Boat
Guest User2026-03-02
Although you can snorkel from the Green Island beaches, the real Great Barrier Reef snorkel experience is vastly improved if you pay the additional amount to take the small boat to the reef and see vastly more of the marine life and beautiful coral. Truly amazing!★

Reviews: Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling and Diving Cruise from Cairns
Guest User2024-09-14
Fantastic day with great staff who look after every need. We stopped at two reefs and had a great deal of time at each. I felt very safe and secure throughout, they really look after everyone. Great lunch too with options for everyone. The fish and reef were beyond incredible and I only wish I could have stayed longer in Cairns as I would absolutely repeat this tour! ★

Reviews: Cairns Green Island Big Cat half-day tour with snorkeling/glass-bottom boat
Guest User2026-01-31
Since we only had a short stay, we decided to take a quick afternoon tour. The boat ride to the island was very rocky due to the rain and rough weather. I got seasick and couldn't move, so I recommend taking motion sickness medicine if you are prone to seasickness. I was impressed to see sea turtles swimming gracefully nearby.★

Reviews: Cairns Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises Half-Day Tour [1-Day Tour/Short Itinerary/Snorkeling Glass Boat]
Guest User2024-02-24
As soon as we boarded the boat, a handsome young man greeted us and introduced the facilities and activities on board. Seeing that my mother was older, he told us which seats in the cabin were comfortable and less prone to motion sickness. Once on the island, it truly lived up to the description—a small, green island, but with everything you'd expect. We strolled along the beach, watching young people snorkel, and my mother was especially delighted, like a child, taking a glass-bottom boat tour to see the coral and fish. It was fantastic.
