This tropical paradise offers an unforgettable day of adventure with the perfect blend of snorkeling and a glass-bottom boat tour. Imagine immersing yourself in the vibrant underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef while also enjoying the unique combination of a coral cay and a lush rainforest. Whether you’re a seasoned snorkeler or a first-time explorer, this experience is designed to captivate and inspire.

Your day starts with a scenic catamaran journey across the sparkling waters to Green Island.

The glass-bottom boat allows everyone, including those who prefer to stay dry, to witness the splendor of the reef without getting wet. In addition to these activities, enjoy the island’s refreshing swimming pool and take a self-guided eco walk through the enchanting rainforest, discovering native flora and birdlife at every turn. Refreshments are readily available from various food outlets to keep the energy up for an action-packed day.
