— What You Can Expect —

Prepare yourself for an exciting day out atop the water! Go snorkelling and scuba diving from Cairns by boarding a fast catamaran and visiting the Green Island and the magnificent Great Barrier Reef.

Your first stop of the day will be Green Island, which is a beautiful 6000-year-old coral cay located in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Here you get to explore to your heart’s content and enjoy the island’s rainforest and waters. Grab your snorkelling gear and explore a vast marine world just off the beach, spend time lazing on a pristine white sand beach, or take part in the optional activities that Green Island has to offer.

Then, once finished on Green Island, it’s time to board the catamaran again and head for a stable platform on the Great Barrier Reef. Here you can choose to go snorkelling straight from the platform or enjoy a dive under guidance from a PADI-certified instructor. You’ll also cruise in a semi-sub, visit the underwater observatory, and relax on the sundeck with a delicious buffet lunch.

In addition to your many included activities, Great Adventures’ activity platform also offers a wide range of exciting optional activities on-site!

So get ready for a catamaran cruise from Cairns, snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef, and a day out you won’t forget anytime soon! Best of all, tour with peace of mind with this operator’s ECO Advanced Certified conservation efforts.
