Snorkelling Green Island

The Reef

Green Island is the perfect place to snorkel, scuba dive, swim all year round, view the coral and fish life from the comfort of a glass bottom boat or semi-submersible or see the reef from the air either by joining a tandem parasail or a helicopter scenic flight.

We enable you to discover the fascinating underwater world among the coral reefs surrounding Green Island where you will see an endless variety of colourful fish, turtles, giant clams, starfish, shells, anemones, eels, sponges, sea urchins and many more incredible marine creatures.

The Island

Tropical and enchanting Green Island is a unique part of the Great Barrier Reef from its boardwalks that lead you through the lush island rainforest of the National Park to the sophistication of Green Island Resort where visitors can browse the shops or make use of the facilities including fresh water showers, change rooms, restrooms and lockers.

Visitors can explore the island at their leisure or just relax on the beautiful white sandy beaches.

Green Island also offers a range of fun, affordable activities including Beach Hire, Marineland Melanesia and the Underwater Observatory.
