Green Island is a beautiful coral cay located off the coast of Cairns in Far North Queensland, Australia. It is only 27 hectares in size, located on the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which of course makes it an ideal location for a day trip for those interested in snorkeling and scuba diving. There are tours and cruises that depart from the Cairns Marlin Marina to visit the island.
Once you reach the island, you'll find plenty of activities to do. Snorkeling, diving and swimming are all popular activities, but there's also fish feeding, glass-bottom boat rides and plenty of different types of wildlife around to enjoy. It's also a great spot for beach time – the beaches are white sand and crystal clear in the turquoise waters, and the coral reef is close to the shore. The land area is home to easily accessible boardwalks and trails in the rainforest, providing a great view of the island. Be sure to keep an eye out for the local birdlife, like white terns, roseate terns, crested terns and ospreys. The Green Island Resort has lodging, restaurants, a pool and range of activities, like kayaking and stand up paddle boarding, for visitors to enjoy. This is truly a beautiful island paradise, perfect for a day trip for those who want to immerse themselves in the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
