Beautiful day - Snorkelling at Green Island was just beautiful. The 3 hour tour was perfect for us as we had to get back to the cruise ship.

Green Island is a must see destination - It was a relaxing day, walking under the shade of the trees, listening to all the birds, so calming. I went to see the turtle and croc feeding before going on the glass bottom boat. Then I walked slowly around the island, enjoying the breeze. Unfortunately, the weather was windy coming home but once we came closer to shore the catamaran was a pleasure to be in. All of the staff were also very helpful.

Great, relaxing day out - Easy transport, lots of options. Chose the snorkelling and was a great experience being able to swim with fish and turtles. Coral is as expected and mostly not alive but was still amazing to see. Would recommend this for first timers or those who get sea sick as you enter via a beach not boat. Would go again but venture out on a boat day tour next time to explore more of the coral.
