This was a great tour. Staff friendly. Glass bottom boat was good. Saw lots of fish the guide was very knowledgeable. The island is basic but there was everything we needed. Snorkelling was fun and easy to do with my 6 year old.

Easy to collect boarding tickets at terminal and smooth trip out to Green Island. Staff friendly & helpful on board (sea sickness bag and/or tablet offered to passengers who needed them). I collected my snorkel, flippers & mask at the dive centre on arrival and paid $12 to hire a ‘stinger suit’ as advised by GA staff due to it being stinger season. Lovely sandy beaches so snorkel from and loads of different brightly-coloured fish to sea near to shore above the sea grass and sea coral. It was easy and so much fun! I didn’t see turtles whilst snorkelling but saw them form the jelly as well as 2 types of shark (reef & brown black-tipped fin sharks). The glass-bottomed boat trip lasted about 40mins and the captain gave a commentary about the reef and the fish & coral that we saw. He made the trip so interesting and we learned a lot about the reef. Food was thrown onto the water during the trip to attract more fish for us to see. It was a great way to see the reef for those who didn’t want to snorkel and for those who did. There’s a short boardwalk that you can do to explore the island or just sit on the beach or have lunch in the food court area. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and thought it was good value for money.

It was pouring with rain, I wasn’t allowed to cancel our booking. My 10 year old daughter threw up on the way over to the island and couldn’t face getting back on the boat to do glass bottom boat and then the earlier ferry at 2:30pm got canceled because “not enough people”, and we had to wait till 4:30pm to go home, even though we were told we might be able to come back early when we checked in. Did snorkeling and the viability was terrible and had to pay for wet suit.

Lush green island with many birds. Some corals & fish viewable from the glass bottomed boat, though water a bit green on our day. Snorkeling through shallow sea grass beds with quite a few fish. Harder to find the corals. Long ways from the beach.

Fantastic crew who were very attentive and caring. Excellent information about what to expect and how to maximize our experience. We were picked up by Mike C from Palm Cove and back. He went above and beyond to make our journey comfortable and enjoyable. He gave us lots of tips not only about Green Island bit many other places experiences in the area. His sense of humour and fun was fabulous. Highly recommended.

Great experience with family and friends for holidays. Easy to approach if you are first time try snorkelling.

Linda_B

We enjoyed the glass bottom boat tour, it was a half hour long. We lucked out and the weather was nice. They have lots of options to keep one busy. We walked the trail and rested on the beach. It is what one should do on a vacation.

Lew_V

Glass bottom boat trip was very disappointing. It was a very short time actually on the water. The glass was dirty and shimmy making it difficult to see colours ...

A great boat ride across pristine waters and incredible snorkelling. Saw so many different fish of all shapes and colours.

bondypamela

Snorkeling on shore was not interesting. Not much coral and only 1 (though beautiful) school of fish sighted. Glass bottom boat ride fun but disappointed it was only 30 minutes. Would have been great to be able to snorkel as part of our glass bottom boat excursion. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. All boat rides were smooth despite rain and waves. Should have WiFi access on island and boat.
