Description

Start your day in Cairns and set off on a proper tropical adventure to Green Island, smack bang in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. Feel the salty breeze on your face as you cruise aboard the Reef Rocket - a modern, air-conditioned catamaran that'll whisk you across the Coral Sea in just 45 minutes.

You'll land on Green Island, a little slice of paradise complete with white sandy beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and lush, shaded rainforests. With four glorious hours to play, pick your own pace - kit up with snorkel gear to explore the underwater world, join a glass-bottom boat or semi-submarine tour to spot marine life, or just kick off your thongs and settle into island time on the sand.

If you fancy stretching your legs, wander the island's rainforest tracks where the dappled shade and tropical greenery make it a real treat for nature lovers. The friendly crew are always on hand to help you squeeze every bit out of your day, whether you're after adventure or just keen for a lazy on the beach.

Your full-day reef cruise departs Cairns at 11:00 am, and after a sun-soaked stint on Green Island, you'll be back in Cairns by 17:00 pm. Not a bad way to spend a day in Queensland's Far North, hey?
