Tour Overview

Your day begins at the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal, where you’ll board a modern, high-speed catamaran for a scenic cruise across turquoise waters. In just 45 minutes you’ll arrive at Green Island, a rainforest-clad coral cay surrounded by fringing reefs and sandy beaches.

Spend the morning exploring the island’s natural wonders—swim, snorkel, or stroll through lush rainforest boardwalks. Optional activities like glass-bottom boat tours, Seawalker helmet diving, parasailing, and scenic helicopter flights can add extra excitement.

Afterwards, continue to the Great Adventures Outer Reef platform, a spacious pontoon moored at a magnificent reef site. Here, you’ll enjoy a tropical buffet lunch, snorkelling, semi-submersible coral viewing, and time to relax or dive deeper into reef activities. By afternoon, you’ll return to Cairns with memories of two incredible reef experiences in one day.
