Visitor guidelines

Experience Green Island with a Return Ferry Transfer from Cairns

Depart from Cairns on a comfortable Great Adventures fast catamaran and reach the heart of the Great Barrier Reef in just 45 minutes. This Green Island Ferry Transfer offers a straightforward and reliable way to access one of the region’s most unique island destinations. Enjoy a full day of adventure, nature, and relaxation with flexible return options giving you up to 7 hours to explore at your own pace.

Island Adventures Await

Green Island is a special blend of coral cay environments and rainforest, surrounded by the vibrant marine life of the Great Barrier Reef. As soon as you step off the ferry, you’ll find yourself in a tropical retreat. Stroll along sun-kissed beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters or take a refreshing dip in the resort's swimming pool. Enjoy the serenity of the Eco Island Walk, which lets you venture through ancient rainforest trails and observe native flora and fauna.

Reef and Rainforest Exploration

Green Island’s unique position allows you to discover both forest and coral ecosystems in a single trip. Go for a self-guided walk to see the island’s plant life and resident birds. If you’re up for some adventure, rent snorkel equipment on the island and get a close-up view of colourful coral gardens and tropical fish. Optional experiences such as glass-bottom boat tours and scuba diving are available for an extra fee. For those who prefer to simply unwind, find your own patch of sand, dip your toes in the sea and bask in the island’s tranquil atmosphere.

Comfort and Convenience

All ferry transfers include access to key island facilities such as restrooms, showers and a freshwater swimming pool, so you can freshen up after your aquatic adventures. Start your visit with complimentary morning tea and coffee served on board the catamaran.
