We did the half day trip and it was perfect for travelling with a family. The staff also touched base with all the passengers individually on the way over to answer any questions which was appreciated. Glass bottom boat trip was enjoyable and informative too. Overall a well organised and fun trip!

The catamaran ride with spectacular ocean views! The water changes colour into all shade of beautiful. The glass bottom boat ride was special learning about the amazing Great Barrier Reef. Snorkeling in the crystal clear water is something I will never forget.

All in all very good the guy in the glassboat was cranky for no reason thats why its only 4. But the snorkling equipments were intact, easy to obtain, the island is beautiful.

A Cairns local, had not been back to Green island for a while, and took some overseas Visitors there. Green island is as beautiful as ever. Great friendly staff, enjoyed good commentary by Ben on the glass bottom boat.
But the state of the facilities was a big disappointment... everything is now so old, rusty, mouldy or...dirty!!! Cairns is a big tourist destination, this doesn't project a good image to our visitors who come and spend a lot of money here.

The most wonderful experience from start to finish! The boat’s crew were professional and friendly. Downstairs, a lovely person serves complimentary tea, coffee and cookies. The trip to Green Island passed very quickly. When arriving at the island, follow the group to the dive shop to pick up the snorkeling equipment. We did this first, saw lovely fish and coral. Then we took the glass bottom boat tour, so incredible. Again, extremely knowledgeable crew! The hitchhiker fish, a remora, named Ray, attached to the glass and rode out with us . The crew offered many details about the coral and fish. The rest of the time was on your own, we walked through the rainforest. We also had lunch, walked on the beach, and swam in the pool. Truly beautiful experience at one of the most special places in the world.

It was a good trip. Weather is main reason for my average review. Couldn't really see any fish or coral from the glass bottom boat, due to colour of the water. The ride over and back was great with choppy seas, so good waves coming up the boat. Food area on the island absolutely stunk, due to birds. Has lockers for personal items. Great coffee.

Not good visibility, choppy ride to island, glass bottom boat was good for what we could see (Andy is great), saw 3 or 4 turtles snorkling which was amazing. Food is rather expensive on the island, bring cash, there is a card surcharge. Ride back was smoother, but ran a bit behind time.

Very worthwhile experience. Enjoyed the snorkelling and glass bottom boat. We rented beach chairs with umbrella and enjoyed a bit of the sun. The food court and pool area was awesome.
