Great Barrier Reef | Green Island Tour | Cairns | Queensland , Australia

Just a 45-minute catamaran ride from the Cairns Marlin Marina, Green Island is a literal oasis in the Coral Sea. It is a rare gem among the 900 islands of the Great Barrier Reef—it’s a coral cay, meaning it’s a lush island formed entirely on top of a coral reef. Whether you're looking for an adrenaline-filled day of diving or just want to nap under a palm tree, here is what makes it special: A Tropical Rainforest on the Reef Unlike many sandy cays that are just a patch of scrub, Green Island is uniquely capped with a thriving rainforest. This provides plenty of natural shade and supports over 120 species of native plants and a vibrant bird population. You can explore the interior via easy boardwalks that crisscross the island. The Underwater Experience The island is surrounded by a shallow fringing reef, making it a "Front Row Seat" to the Great Barrier Reef. Snorkeling: You can walk right off the white sandy beach and be among sea turtles and colorful parrotfish within meters. Glass Bottom Boats: Perfect for those who want to see the coral gardens without getting wet.Marineland Melanesia: A quirky, must-visit crocodile habitat on the island, home to Cassius, one of the world's largest crocodiles in captivity. Island Amenities Green Island is one of the more "civilized" reef experiences. It’s home to the Green Island Resort, but day-trippers have access to: Freshwater swimming pools. A range of cafes and a pool bar. Changing rooms, showers, and lockers. Equipment hire for windsurfing or kayaking. Pro Tip: Because of its proximity to Cairns, it's the most accessible reef trip. If you’re short on time or prone to seasickness, this is your best bet as the boat ride is relatively short and protected. #greenisland #greatbarrierreef #australia #queensland #hindivlog #2026 #cairns
