Green Island Day Trip from Cairns with Northern Beaches Transfers

This is a straightforward Great Barrier Reef day trip that takes the hassle out of getting to the boat if you’re staying in Cairns’ Northern Beaches. You’ll travel by air-conditioned catamaran to Green Island, then have four or five hours to spend on the island. Depending on the option you book, you can snorkel, join a glass-bottom boat tour, or add a semi-submersible tour and buffet lunch. It suits travellers who want reef time without a full-day outer reef trip.

The day starts with return hotel transfers from Northern Beaches accommodation, followed by the cruise from Cairns to Green Island. Morning tea or coffee is included on the way. Once on the island, you’ll have several hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Your booking includes either snorkelling gear for the day or a glass-bottom boat tour, and some options also include a semi-submersible tour and buffet lunch. After your time on Green Island, you’ll return to Cairns by catamaran and be transferred back to your accommodation.
