    Snorkelling and semi submersible. Really excellent view underwater in semi submersible .crew were really organised on giving out Snorkelling gear

  2. KEVIN_L

    The island itself is so amazing as its made of coral and looks idyllic with a lovely beach and forest in the center

  3. Lyn_C

    Lunch was good and the glass bottom boat, submersible ok, but there wasn’t much to do on the island if you weren’t snorkelling.

  5. Rose_M

    The boat trip to the island was ok the island was very run down and hardly any facilities it needs a very much needed update not very nice
    Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

    It was dissapointing because where I was told to snorkel – one crew member advised me – there was seagrass and sand instead of corals. So, the day trip is worth for the green island, not at all as a snorkeling experience in the great barrier reef. They dont take you to where you can see any reef at all. Very frustrating.

    Great experience, the team was very helpful and knowledgeable. Hats off to them for dealing with such big groups!

    Tour operator was quite good and semi-sub and glad bottom boat experiences were great. The island itself was a bit disappointing, with very limited dining options (one fast food outlet with long queues). Mainland Melanesia is small, but worth a visit.

  9. Bobbie_E

    Excellent trip, after a terrible start due to the trip over (wind picked up) but the island was protected and water clear. Seen heaps of different fish and turtles plus enjoyed the sub tour, small aquarium and crocodile feeding. The buffet was also exactly what we needed to get through the day. Staff were excellent.

    This was an amazing trip. The marine biologists onboard are happy to answer all questions and the adventure you have on the island is fantastic. From being under the water in the semi sub to snorkelling off the island and seeing the coral close up, such a brilliant day to be apart of nature and learning about the importance of our ecosystems.

    The trip was excellent the staff were very helpful and informative. Loved the semi sub and the glass boat tour. Couldn’t fault anything would definitely do this again. It was good value for money.

  12. Janine_M

    Walking on the beach and the glass bottom boat loved it, the food was great just loved the reef and the rain Forrest together

  13. Cindy_R

    Had a day to spend before I left so this was ideal – boat was ready – snorkel gear handed out without fuss – which all fit beautifully! White sandy beach – rainforest walk – perfect coffee at the resort Such a lovely day out ! Snorkelled all day – visited the crocodile enclosure and even though I missed the buffet it would have been scrumptious! Highly recommend

    A fantastic day. Worth every cent of the cost. Snorkeling, Glass bottom boat, and semi submersible not to be missed. Crew on board were brilliant. Added bonus, whale watching on the return journey as a humpback whale began breaching near the boat. Extra half hour to get in but priceless.

  15. Greg_C

    Do this, it’s great. The company run the island and it’s boats but they seem to be eco based and not so much profit based, few dollars for Tea and Coffee, everyone so helpful and truly a wonderous experience

    Boat was a little late for pick up, which can happen, but there was no communication as to when it would arrive and no apology either.
    The ride to and back from Green Island was incredibly choppy that day and no forewarning people would get wet in certain seats. Several people were ill.
    Once off the Reef Rocket, the wind was pretty bad. If you are going to wear a hat make sure you have one that can tie under your chin because you most definitely will lose it. My husband lost his baseball cap, luckily it was caught by one of the crew but I saw a few more fly off into the water from the pier.
    Lunch was good, staff friendly and the glass bottom boat was a good choice to see the coral and fish. The boat operator was both entertaining and knowledgeable.
    Unfortunately the submersible wasn’t a very good choice and I didn’t like it.
    It’s far too small, claustrophobic, some children were scared and I don’t blame them at all. If anything happened and we had to evacuate, I could see some would not be able to quickly get to safety.

    Brilliant trip with Big Cat Green Island cruises and nice smooth crossings. Lovely little island and beach. Managed to spot a reef shark, two turtles, sting rays and loads of fish through the windows of the semi submersible. Grandson was so excited! Had to change the date of our booking which was no problem at all for the admin staff. Great day out.

  18. Paula_G

    You do the snorkel by yourself so for me it’s positive, you have all the time you want. Got the chance to swim with some turtles and many kinds of fish, it was incredible!!!! Also the island is amazingly beautiful and you have a lot of hours to walk around it and chill on the beach. Thanks!

  19. David_M

    Glass bottom boat tour of reef was informative and memorable. Great way to see the coral ABC the marine life.

  20. Peter_B

    Shorter boat trip than most tours. Good snorkling equipment. Great snorkling. Good facilities on the Island.
