It was one of the best experience for us so far to see this amazing world of Reefs and corals besides the unparalleled natural beauty.A must do for all Australia visitors-preferably with the Green Cat Crew.

Had the most amazing day. Wonderful and friendly staff, great facilities and delicious food. Our trip to Green Island was an experience my children will remember for along time. The snorkeling was fantastic. The Semi submarine was both thrilling and educational. An enjoyable day was had by all.

Must-Do when in Cairns! Perfect for snorkelling, diving, relaxing and much much more.

On recommendation of locals in Cairns we took the inner reef trip on the Big Cat Green Island Cruise. It was a great day and one we shall remember forever. The crew on the outward bound cruise were helpful and showed us all how to use snorkelling equipment or take a scuba dive. Upon arrival at Green Island, a tropical Cay on the inner reef, we were treated to a delicious buffet lunch on board with as much as you could eat included in the price of the cruise. Then with hours left to explore this exotic little island we went snorkelling in the crystal clear and quite warm waters with the equipment provided by the cruise. When we became too hot to swim anymore we retired to the wildlife park where we could get close up to some enormous crocodiles. Truly a great day out with a delightful cruise thrown in on the way out and back. Will definitely do it again next time in Cairns.

My wife & I stayed in Cairns for a week and this was the highlight – I had always wanted to snorkel in the corals and see the marine life but am quite short sighted so thought we would just be viewing the island. I was delighted to find out the Big Cat had prescription goggles available which allowed me to fulfil that dream; what a fabulous experience we both swam right out into the beautiful warm clear sea to discover amazing creatures and colours. We will never forget that day trip.

We went to Cairns and got the Big Cat to Green Island on the Gt Barrier Reef for a full day trip. Totally amazing. The big Cat was well kitted out with food and drinks, snorkelling equip and very organised. Staff we very welcoming and friendly and we did have a good laugh. Arriving at the reef we went to the far right of the dock and found some great snorkelling. So amazing fish and sea turtles swimming next to you. I hardly ever get in the water unless its really hot, but this day I could not stay out of it. To the point where after a few hours of snorkelling around I had cramp in both legs at the same time. Then I knew I had to quit. Leaving and going back, that was the worse part, i didn’t want to leave. On the way back the photographer came to see everybody on board about photos, we chatted about the photos and again, found the photographer working on the Big Cat to be very friendly and we had a great laugh. Good end to a perfect day.

We had an amazing day on this trip, it was very well organised and the staff were very well trained and helpful. We hired the snorkelling gear and snorkelled from the beach and also went on the semi-submersible. The buffet lunch was good. The Island itself is very beautiful and has some excellent walks for those who don’t want/are unable to go in the water. Well worth it.

I travelled to Green Island on Big Cat on 25th July on the 11am boat. Also travelling with me was my Boyfriend and his Grandmother, who both extremely enjoyed the trip. I found the vessels, (the rocket and larger boat) to be very comfortable and clean, which is always important when travelling to the Reef. The Staff were fantastic and friendly, and I found that the information about the reef, snorkelling, Green Island ECT that was provided on the vessel during the boat ride was very useful and easy to understand, which a bonus is for those foreigners who can’t speck much English. Some of the information that was provided I have not actually heard on other companies also travelling to the reef, this I found to be impressive. The lunch was also one of the best Buffet Lunches I have had with any other Reef Company, especially the beef curry, mmmmmmm. The glass bottom boat tour was educational and fun, the Driver was well informed and had good of knowledge about the different types and reef and marine life.
