Green Island

Surrounded by white sandy beaches and the beautiful coral gardens of the Great Barrier Reef, Green Island is an idyllic coral cay located only 15 nautical miles offshore from Cairns.

We offer the best elements of the tropics in one destination: Beautiful island beaches, shady emerald rainforest, and a world-renowned coral reef.

Green Island is ideal for swimmers and non-swimmers. Either snorkel or take the glass bottom boat ride, or you can do both.
