    I went alone and didn’t snorkel but still had a great relaxing time! Met some great and interesting people.

    Not so crowded as I thought, we had not many on coral reef. So many birds and fishes. I don’t know how Green Island is, but I enjoyed this tour.

    If you don’t snorkel, don’t go! Lovely island but not able to walk around it due to birds nesting. If we had known, we wouldn’t have gone.

    I just wish I had known I had to line up for ages to get tickets for my voucher. Rest was good. Crew nice and helpful.

    It was a great area of the reef, the Catamaran was great. The service was great.
    The food needs improvement, what was served was ok, just lacking in flavour.

    The information available about this tour needs to be updated. The phone number is old and not in use any more, we had to improvise and ask around to find the right tour operator apparently this has changed in the last year. Tour itself was ok but busy and very touristic.

    The Great barrier reef is so famous that you have to see it at least once, even if it’s not the best barrier reef I’ve seen.
    The boat takes you on this protected island located 2h30 from Cairns. This small sand island coming out from nowhere is special. Tiny spot occupied by a amazing number of birds !! We are only allowed to stay on a delimited area so we don’t disturb too much these animals.
    The water is… COLD !! What a surprise for me !! The Great barrier reef is in a cold water 21 degrees that day. Anyway, the spectacle is beautiful. The subversive boat is a very nice way too see all types of fishes and reefs. the crew on the boat is very friendly and teach us a lot about the reef’s life.
    The snorkeling spot is the most colored reef I’ve seen so far: blue, brown, pink, yellow… the go pro made a good job :

    This is one of the most fantastic things we have ever done. The snorkeling is beyond compare. The water is crystal clear and the giant clams, tropical fish, and lovely coral are the best I have ever seen. The boat ride was fabulous and beautiful and the food was GREAT. The semi sub ride was a spectacular experience. The birds take up most of the island so do not plan on sunbathing. There is definitely a bit of an odor and many feathers on the sand. The area for the birds is roped off and there are surveillance cameras…so no sneaking over to the bird side! If you love birds like I do, you will enjoy seeing all of the baby chicks. It was a wonderful day that I will always remember!

    The trip was great but the reef didn’t have many fish for snorkelers perhaps because it was low tide I’ve seen many more fish off Malaysia etc. The crew were charming and couldn’t do enough for their passengers.

    Stunning island
    Great snorkelling
    Lovely buffet
    Superb trip

  13. Roberta G

    Saw as many colorful fish and corals as we did on outer reef/rougher waters. 3 hours of bliss.
    Excellent food.

  14. Joan_D

    Enjoyed this experience so much. Would love to do it again and again. The food was excellent. The staff very caring and helpful. The trip with the biologist was very nice. Also enjoyed the submersible.

    Our cruise ship let us of disembark over 30 minutes late. We went directly to the tour check-in but were told the vessel had departed.
    We were still charged US$321.00 despite the influencing factors being completely out of our control. The operator provided not alternative tour or even a partial refund.

    Great time, friendly and attentive staff, good food. Inside cabin is kept far too (uncomfortably) cool so bring warm layers.
