Green Island is like a magical treasure in the Great Barrier Reef! This tiny island is covered in rainforest and surrounded by crystal-clear waters filled with colourful coral and fish. Explore the rainforest boardwalks, relax on sandy beaches, or swim and snorkel in the amazing reef. You can also take a glass-bottomed boat ride or visit the Marineland Melanesia Crocodile Habitat to see some incredible wildlife.
Fun fact: Green Island is a real coral cay, formed by sand and coral building up over thousands of years!

I loved this day trip! The boat ride out gives you a great view of some of Australias mainland coastline from the ocean and the waters are crystal clear. The island itself is stunning! we walked around the coast and had lunch before chilling on the beach and swimming with the locals (fish and turtles) I would have been ok if I had missed the boat back. A really beautiful place to visit
