Excellent 4 hr trip - Trip to island left at 9 am for 4 hours which fitted our cruise docking and leaving times.
Trip to island 45 mins then 1.15 hrs before glass bottom boat trip. Husband borrowed stringer suit from boat and snorkel on lovely beach with lots of fish to see ( life guard beach) Saw sea turtles off the pier. Glass bottom boat trip excellent saw loads of beautiful coral and fish. Staff all very helpful. Coffee shops etc on island too.

Great Green Island Trip - Staff on the boat trip were very friendly and professional making us feel safe and comfortable. We took the glass bottom boat option which was really interesting and our guide was very informative. Back on the jetty we were lucky enough to see a turtle and a reef shark! Excellent day out!

Nice experience - Half day was perfect for our young family.
A full day is for those that are snorkeling, helicopter scenic trip or paragliding imo.
The 45 minute boat ride to Green island was smooth and the island itself is a nice experience.
Glass bottom boat was an enjoyable way to experience the reef.

Murky Waters - Ability to see things is dependent on water conditions. Commentary is great and the best part is when the fish are fed.

Half Day Tour was Plenty - The glass bottom boat was the highlight of the day. The young tour guide really knew his stuff. The half day tour was plenty for us. Wasn’t much else on the island. Unless you’re into snorkeling.
