Your Experience
Green Island lies 27 km offshore from Cairns, it is a National Park within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Areas. It has been a popular tourist destination for over a century. In 1937 it became a National Park, in 1974 a Marine Park and then in 1981, part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. This island is a true coral cay formed over thousands of years by the buildup of sand and coral rubble deposited on the calm side of a platform reef. When the tide is low you can do a walk along the water around the whole island, look out for turtles, stingrays and sea birds.
If you want to see crocodiles in captivity, or turtles close up with also many interesting facts from the surrounding areas then visit Marine land Melanesia. There is a small cost for this island option. The island is covered in a tropical vine forest which supports a diversity of birds and insects. Have a walk across the island along the Interpretative Boardwalk where you can learn about some of commonly seen flora and their Indigenous uses. Green Island and its surrounds is a highly protected area. The Australian Government recognizes that Green Island is a very special place and has protected it in several ways such as the island is a National Park and all commercial activities are regulated by permits, the reef and underwater habitats are part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, both Green Island and its reef are included in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, which gives it international protection under UNESCO.
Ocean Free has a private mooring just 1 km off the island with a stunning coral garden on the Great Barrier Reef, where only our guests snorkel and dive. The surrounding coral reef is home to many kinds of corals, clams, fish, stingrays, Green and Hawksbill turtles and other reef life. During our fish feed off Ocean Free, we often get two to three black tipped reef sharks. Ocean Free transfers you across to Green Island in its dinghy.
