Great Barrier Reef tours are one of the most popular activities when visiting Far North Queensland.
Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises offers two cruise options – our half day tours and full day tours. The half day tours allow you to enjoy the beauty of Green Island when short on time or simply want to get to the reef for a couple of hours, whilst the full day tours allow flexibility so you can enjoy your time at the Great Barrier Reef whilst maximising your time on this fabulous tropical island.
You can choose to snorkel, dive, stay dry or view the spectacular underwater reefs in a semi submarine or glass bottom boat, or simply laze on the white sandy beach.
View departure times for both cruises below.

Tour Reviews
For someone like me who easily get sea sick, it was perfect because it took only 45 minutes to get to the island. The island was beautiful and I especially enjoyed the semi-submarine while I was there. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to visit the Great Barrier Reef.
