GREEN ISLAND
Great Adventures provides an excellent day combining beautiful Green Island and the Outer Barrier Reef.

Green Island is a superb coral cay with delightful sandy beaches and crystal clear waters on the Great Barrier Reef just 45 minutes from Cairns. This daytrip gives you just under 2 hours free time to explore this perfect piece of paradise.  

After spending time on Green Island you will cruise on-board a modern comfortable high-speed catamaran to the first class multi-level pontoon situated on the outer edge at Norman Reef.

What Makes the Outer Reef Great!

  • Closest pontoon to the Continental Shelf from Cairns
  • Norman Reef Platform - Largest and most spacious
  • Only location in Australia where you can do the Scuba Doo
  • Biggest Semi Sub
  • Sensational visibility 

DEPARTURES:
Departures are at 8:30am returning to Cairns at 5:30pm.

Inclusions:
  • Air-conditioned fast catamaran
  • Morning and afternoon tea
  • 2 hours on Green Island
  • 3 hours at the Outer Barrier Reef
  • Delicious hot & cold 5 star buffet lunch 
  • Semi-submersible coral viewing tours 
  • Snorkelling equipment
  • Buoyancy vests if required
  • Underwater observatory
  • Reef education presentation

The Pontoon features:

  • Undercover seating and tables
  • Full Bar Facilities
  • Sun-deck with Sun-lounges
  • Swimming enclosure for children
  • Change rooms
  • Freshwater showers
  • Scuba diving
  • Semi-submerged platform
  • Great for Non-Swimmers
  • Underwater observatory
  • Semi Submersible reef viewer
  • Scuba Doo - (At additional cost)
There are many activities available on Green Island for people of all ages and excellent underwater dive options at the Outer Barrier Reef that are perfect for non-swimmers!

The diversity of the Marine life at the Outer Barrier Reef is amazing. We saw a huge number of beautiful small and very large tropical fish including a huge Maori Wrasse "Wally" who kept coming right up to us to say hello. It is the closest I have come to swimming in an aquarium. The Coral Gardens are very pretty and extensive.

As a dive site there were fabulous swim throughs and caves and a fantastic range of sea life.

If you want to learn more about the reef there is a Guided Snorkel tour that is very informative.

Optional Extras:

Scenic Helicopter Flights:
See the reef from below and above! You can fly to the reef or fly home by helicopter, or, do a quick Joy Flight while at the reef. There are many options and this is an absolute BUZZ! These are at an additional cost.

Scuba Doo:

This Outer Barrier Reef pontoon is the only place in Australia where you can cruise the reef in your own space-age underwater scooter. Tours depart every 25 minutes from the pontoon with professional guides. There are limited places so it is best to book early.

Hotel coach transfers from your Cairns accommodation or Cairns Beaches accommodation are available if required at an additional charge.
