Snorkelling AND Glass Bottom Boat at Green Island from Cairns

Kurzweilige Fahrt mit dem Katamaran zur Insel und retour. Die Crew war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Der Ausflug mit dem Glasbodenboot war interessant, um die Unterwasserwelt des Riffs zu sehen. Allerdings waren die Erläuterungen des Bootsführers zu intensiv und ermüdend. Der Aufenthalt auf Green Island war enttäuschend, da die Gastronomie und das gesamte Umfeld einschließlich Pool sehr ungepflegt waren. Daneben muss man den Guanogeruch in Kauf nehmen. Bei diesen Tripkosten war das Ganze unbefriedigend.

Schnorchelausrüstung wird komplett zur Verfügung gestellt und ist im Preosi begriffen. Man kann natürlich auch eigenes Equipment mitbringen. Ratsam ist, einen Ganzkörperanzug (nicht Neopren) zusätzlich auszuleihen (starke Sonneneinstrahlung - Gefahr von Sonnenbrand). Dieser wird dann separat berechnet.

Das schnorcheln am Reef war sehr beeindruckend, muss man aber alles extra buchen. Die Insel ist echt etwas in Jahre gekommen und sehr ungepflegt.

Wir sind bei strömenden Regen auf Green Island angekommen und dachten dass der Tag gelaufen ist. Nach einem kleinen Picknick (überdacht) klarte das Wetter auf. Wir konnten unsere glassbottomboat - Tour verschieben auf den Nachmittag und haben viele Fische gesehen und haben neues über das GBR erfahren. Wir haben beim Schnorcheln ( wenig farbige) Korallen, einen Rochen, einen riffhai, mehrere Schildkröten und viele bunte Fische gesehen. Unsere kleine wurde von hübschen hellblauen-weissen Fischen in ihren Schwarm aufgenommen und sie hatte viel Freude daran 😃 Für Familien mit kleineren Kindern eine absolute Empfehlung

Wonderful beautiful trip via ferry to Green island. Awesome environment suitable for family vacation

This was amazing and recommended for anyone. We saw a lot of sea life just departing off the boat walking along the jetty. The glass boat showed us so many amazing creatures. We snorkeled and saw such diverse ocean life.

Just great day out, the glass bottom boat and snorkeling was fantastic. Plenty of fish and coral even sighted a black tip shark.

Rain was havy reef on island ok but tour was organized safe for all i saw people w disability crew was helping this is amazing 👏

We went on a day that they had a warning about rough seas, we asked about it and the person checking us in said "I don't know why there's a warning, it's not that bad". My daughter ended up getting sea sick on the way out. The boat ride to green Island took around 50 mins. The crew was friendly and the boat was nice. Mostly all indoor with climate control. The glass bottom boat was great. We saw lots of fish and even a couple turtles. Getting our snorkel gear was easy. We decided to snorkel on the beach closest to the pier as they said you may see turtles there. The day we went they were expecting a really low tide, and that did make it somewhat difficult to snorkel off the beach. We did see a turtle and even a stingray, plus lots of cool fish. They had lockers you can rent, and they were large enough to fit my huge beach bag, plus a backpack etc. I think it was $11 for 8 hours, and they had a 4 hour option too. You pay with a card and put in a pin, you can open as many times as you want. We brought our own food, so I can't talk about that. The crocodile exhibit on the island was cool. The biggest croc died about a year ago, but they still have lots of other big Crocs. We thought it worth the price to go in as we hadn't been up close to Crocs yet. Overall we enjoyed it, and my daughter thought it was fun even though she had gotten sick. Our boat ride back wasn't as bad thankfully. This was our kids first time snorkeling, and they are looking forward to more adventures.

Loved the rainforest next to the beach. It’s a very small Island but roomy enough to find a quiet spot. Marine life was awesome!
