Great half day cruise to the Great Barrier Reef - My husband and I had a great half-day trip through Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises in Cairns! The entire boarding/travel process was very easy, the crew were super helpful, and they made sure we had a safe trip over. The beaches at Green Island were beautiful, and we were glad we went in the morning because it started to get crowded around midday. We got to see some cool parts of the reef, a ton of fish, and just sit and enjoy the beautiful beach. There were also amenities on the island we could access if needed.

Boat trip - Booked the Glass bottom boat and the semi submarine, but as time was short we enjoyed swimming in the sea so much we didn't bother with the glass bottom boat and just did the semi submarine which was brilliant and not to be missed, would have loved more time

Fun day at Green Island! - The ferry trip was comfortable despite the waves, thanks to the captain's expertise. The island has two beaches that also offer snorkeling. We did the 1/2 day cruise, so we only had time to explore one beach. Lots of fish around but not as much coral as expected. Great experience for new snorkeling and anyone who wants to enjoy the beach!

Green Island 🏝️ - What a great experience. The catamaran ride over and back from the island was fantastic. The glass bottom boat was definitely a highlight. Highly recommended!!

Glass bottom biat - Enjoyed the glass bottom boat ride. There was plenty of room and ridiing within an open air seating space was a plus.

There is not very clear... - There is not very clear instructions regards to the tickets pick up. Thus caused us have to drop by the cruise counter to get the boarding tickets. But as per the counter staff told us that tickets can be obtained by email.

Have made cairns now so now it will be other destinations. - Cairns as a city ok.
If you are going out on the barier reef, go out to the outer reef.Green airland was disappointing.The island was broken exploited reef was gray and colorless almost no fish was visible,you lured them out at a place with food.

Don't waste your money - That the tour was misleading. We paid to snorkel and they took us to an island and there was nothing to see while snorkeling.
