This was fantastic! We booked the day before and it was half the price of most other snorkelling trips. The boat was smooth and staff really friendly. We were put off by some reviews saying that there’s not much to do on the island so opted for the shorter (3 hour) duration and I really wish we had stayed longer as it was so pretty! And plenty of shade etc., very easy to spend a full day there. 4 stars as we weren’t sure exactly where we should go for the snorkelling, you’re left to your own devices and whilst we saw plenty of fish I feel we would have seen a bigger range of wildlife if we knew where exactly to look.

Boat ride was about 40min to and fro green island per way. Free and easy time in green island. I did snorkeling and it was fun.

We chose Glass Bottom Boat. The reef and fish viewing were great. 5 hours on the island were more than sufficient. Enjoyed our trip.

People were absolutely not respectful of the reef and the fauna living there. Saw many people stepping on the ground and disturbing the already imbalanced nature. Should’ve never booked this trip and support this continuous destruction. The staff on the boat, however, was very kind.

We had a smooth ride to Green Island on the fast catamaran. We saw schools of fish off the beach area and a few 8 inch size what looked like angel fish. For more advanced snorkelers you need to go the the boat pier beach area and you will see much more like rays and perhaps turtles. If you don't want to spend big bucks on food you should definitely bring snacks.

The guide on the glass bottom boat was knowledgeable and made sincere efforts to show us as much life among the corals as she could; and the crew on the main ferry from Cairns to Green Island.

Ride out and back was fine. Glass bottom boat tour and snorkeling from the shore were great. Food was poor and overpriced. Birds were aggressive. We came in in a cruise ship and reached out twice for help with directions - never received a response.

The trip to Green Island was good. Hanging around the island was fun with a nice beach & a nice walk. The glass bottom boat was okay, but could have been longer. I was disappointed by the shortness. Saw nice coral, but not many species of fish. I did the Marineland Melanesia Croc Park on the island. It was great watching the croc feeding & seeing the worlds biggest saltwater croc Cassius. The Melanesian art throughout marineland was fascinating. The staff throughout were friendly & great. Would be a 5 star if the glass bottom boat tour was longer.

The boat over was good. Staff were really friendly with us & explained our options with the map clearly. We loved the snorkeling & rainforest.

The glass bottom boat was amazing. Easy to get tickets and on and off the boat. Could be out on deck or inside an air conditioned area
