1.From Cairns: Full-Day Green Island Cruise

Full-day catamaran cruise from Cairns to Green Island for reef snorkeling plus optional semi-submarine and glass-bottom views.

Most Popular★ 4.5

“Was good, but while booking the included activities were not clear and we had some misunderstandings. As it states snorkeling and glass bottom boat cruise is included, however upon arrival it was a separate activity and should be paid for separately. Other than that, Green Island is worth seeing.”
