Great Tour Combining Both Islands

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Perfect trip combining both islands for those who are time poor and can’t fit trips to both on seperate days. More than enough time at both islands, we didn’t feel rushed. Stinger suits were provided and the box lunch was perfect. Bit of confusion in the morning regarding which boat to get on as you don’t leave on a Big Cat Boat but other than that couldn’t fault the day.
Poor Experience

2.00Poor communication and dirty ship. Didn’t receive box or lunch buffet. When I asked for food they said it was too late and that I could walk back to the island to purchase food. No lifeguards and Fitzroy island. They’re basically an ocean taxi. We couldn’t understand instructions over the intercom. Most instructions were in Chinese. Not sure how they have such good reviews.
Lovely day at green island and fitzroy

5.00Lovely excursion, nice sandy beach. We had a great experience on the glass bottom boat. Very helpful staff, and enjoyable meal including curries, salads, prawns and fresh fruit. The boat can take rough seas. Our experience at Fitzroy was great so much coral and fish to see. We also managed to see a sea turtle.
Barebones trip

4.00The experience on-board was good but no extras including drinks provided. A bottle of water or softdrink would have been appreciated. I wasn't provided much info on where to swim, snorkel, hike, get snacks, etc. I wasted a lot of time snorkeling on Green Island where I saw others but not in the best locations. Good info or a small map would have been handy.

4.00The islands were beautiful, good tour to get both done if on a time limit. Was a little confusing transferring from Fitzroy to Green island as not everyone was doing both islands and the communication about where to go/what boat to get on was not the best.
Consider this a "Must Do" when in Cairns

5.00It was a great tour and I really enjoyed the day in and on the water. I will note that there were lots of instructions for the multiple variations of tours different people were taking so you should pay close attention. Secondly, Viator indicated that the glassbottom biat was included yet the vendor said it was not. They accommodated me but it was confusion Iwas not expecting. Otherwise, it was a great trip.
Good Day

5.00I was sceptical but this was actually a great day. Make sure you know what you want to do on Fitzroy because there is greater distance to cover. You get a great taste of both islands, they’re super different. The picnic lunch is worth it in my opinion (a wrap, a sambo, an apple and a nut bar) - you can smash it out on the ferry service and then get straight into Green Island snorkeling.
