    We had a lovely day out. The trip to green island was relaxing. The glass bottom boat commentary was so very informative.

    A little bit disappointed with the half day green island tour as this island does not appear to be reef proper which is the sole reason for my trip to Cairns. Lots of people in the water so it was quite churned up and murky but did see fish.

    For me the half day was sufficient. I took the glass bottom boat activity option which was well organised and informative. As I had had shoulder surgery recently I wasn’t able to snorkel but enjoyed time on the beach, and walking.

  • A definite must do
