green island cruise - day tour (big cat green island reef cruise)印象

This place really is beautiful. On the recommendation at my accommodation I took full day trip on the 11am fast boat. You leave later in the morning & this boat stays later at the Island yet arrives back at exactly the same time as the big cat meaning you have almost as much time on the island. I didn't bother with the lunch on the boat, instead took snacks & bought lunch there. This is a tourist island, with several boats arriving each day, so prices are geared to take advantage of that ($50 to hire beach chairs & umbrella?!) however there is plenty to see and do and I would definitely return. The staff on the boat were friendly & helpful & the bonus - a whale popped up right next to the boat!

The only positive thing is the snorkel tour guided by some Japanese. The Big Cat boat is full of noisy and impolite Chinese. The staff even spoke Chinese to me, automatically assumed that I was a bloody Chinese. Chinese occupied all the seats and only gave some up for us when asked to. Chinese announcement was on many times without any English translation. The island doesn't even have a proper bathroom, only outdoor showers that are revealed to everybody, no privacy at all. The buffet was terrible. For the price, it was not worthwhile at all.

The trip over there was lovely with very helpful staff ensuring that we knew times and places of the things we were doing. Green Island itself was really beautiful, although very touristy. You could leisurely walk part way around the island, stopping to read the many helpful information signs along the way. We didn't do any swimming or snorkeling but there was still enough to do and look at without that. We also went on the glass bottom boat which you boarded from the back of another boat. That was interesting but not all that great... still... probably worth the money but don't expect to get good photos as the glass is scratched and light reflects on it. I'm happy I went because it was my only chance to see a part of the reef but I probably wouldn't do it again.

The fast rocket trip was great to get to the Island and back. Not sure if it was a particularly busy day, but we had booked the buffet lunch and it was so crowded and cramped that we could not stay, so we ended up buying food on the Island. It is not too expensive so I would recommend foregoing the buffet on the Big Cat. The snorkelling was great and you can find the odd quiet spot to sit.

We took the Green Island tour on a gorgeous July day. The morning boat had seen whales on the ride to Green Island and we watched for them on our trip, but were unsuccessful. We took the glass bottom boat and mini sub rides along with snorkeling. It was a great way to spend the afternoon!

This is a must do in Cairns. Took the big cat for a enjoyable boat trip out to Green Island. I had the choice of a glass bottom tour at the island or snorkeling. I went on the glass bottom boat and took my own snorkeling gear. You can also hire snorkeling gear on the island. There are cafes and a restaurant on the island to buy food and drinks. The best snorkeling is near the bend in the jetty. I saw lots of colourful fish and a large gopher. Had a great day out.

A great day out Staff helpful and friendly. Boat was a good size plenty of space lunch was nice choice of both hot and cold. Bothe the Submarine and glass bottom was great saw plenty of fish, coral and sea life. We saw so much that e did not bother to snorkel instead relaxed on the beautiful beach. There are facilities on the island too. Plenty of bird life on the island. Great option for those that want to see the reef but not get wet. But also great if you do want to get wet. No complaints here. We actually would of liked more time at the island as there was so much to do :-)

My girls are 7&8, great swimmers but a bit nervous of fish, this was perfect. The boat ride over on the Big Cat Reef Rocket was a bit bumpy but hey, it's the sea, get over it and the boat has free seasickness tablets We did the semisub tour first that was great, it takes half an hour and the fish know there is a feed coming so swarm around the boat and it's very exciting for the kids We then got in the water from the sandy beach and went snorkelling, there were lots of fish to see and a great introduction for beginners. My girls want to go back and do more. Perfect When we got back to Cairns there was a great free outdoor water public lark, also worth checking out

I took the full day tour and probably could have done with the half day I think. snorkeling on the reef was good, but limited fish. I was about to get out and saw a turtle and managed to swim with it a bit and take photos !! That was cool !! The reef tour boat itself was very nice. The staff were great and friendly and the lunch buffet was really good with rice, curried chicken, veggies and fruit. As with everything, it costs money to do the other things like scuba diving or the glass bottom boat, but if you aren't interested in those things, it's not that bad. I went to the crocodile "farm" and the staff were really good and knew their crocs !! And they are huge !!I found that being a solo participant, that the half day would have been better for me. I ran out of things to do and had to wait until the boat left, however, the boat was clean, and again, the staff were awesome !!
