We had a great day out on Green Island. We'd do it again if the opportunity ever presented itself.

An amazing time! We felt like children again with a sense of wonder with all the exotic and beautiful things we saw. Snorkeling on Green Island is a must! They outfittted us with everything, including sun protection suits (for a nominal charge). We did both the submarine and glass bottom boat, which I thought might be redundant, but each offered a different perspective and both were worthwhile. The Kuranda Rainforest was gorgeous and the Aboriginal show entertaining. We even got a chance to throw a boomerang and cuddle a Koala (but that cost extra). It poured rain while we were on the gondola, but an attendant provided us with an oversized umbrella so that we could walk in the forest. It was an unbelieveable sensory experience to walk in the rainforest during the downpour. These were 2 days we will remember forever.

This 2 day package was ideal for our short stay in Cairns.
Day 1. Barrier Reef - Excellent organisation, the staff were friendly and helpful especially Kylie Davies from the Cruise service desk. My daughter and I got our days mixed up, so, on this day we were dressed for the Rainforest, she quickly made arrangements for us to be taken back to our hotel to change into our beach wear. Thanks to Kylie we were able to fulfil our main reason for the trip - to snorkel in the reef and face our fears of the sea. Everything about the day was brilliant, could have done with at least one more hour on the Island.
Day 2. Kuranda, Rainforest – Be prepared for a very full day, also note this package does not include lunch – therefore either purchase something in the short time you have in Kuranda market or take a picnic and eat it in the tranquil Tropical Fruit Orchard of the Rain Forest Station. The train ride up to Kuranda and Skyrail down to Cairns was brilliant and the vista is breathtaking. The rainforest tour guide was very informative; my favourite plant was Hairy Mary. The Zoo keeper was also knowledgeable about the Wildlife. After the Panagirri Aboriginal dancer’s performance, make sure you have a go at the boomerang throwing.
One suggestion I would make to the tour company is for each of the tours to be extended by 1 hour so that there is a little more time on the Green Island and in Kuranda Market.

Very well organized trip. I must say that one should at least do a full day and not a half day trip , since the time simply flies once you are on Green Island. The submarine ride was the best part of the day for our family since one has to snorkel far from the beach to see the best corals.I hope to visit the area again some day.

An amazing 2-day package and we thought it was great value for money. Would have cost much more to do all we did in such a short space of time if we had booked everything separately. We were in Melbourne visiting family and although it was a long way to travel up to Cairns after just making such a long trip from England. But we just knew we couldn't be in Australia and not go and see the Great Barrier Reef! So glad we made the effort - and glad we found this trip. Hadn't used Viator before so had no idea what we were going to get for our money. As it happened - everything was just great! Great organisation and lovely helpful staff to take all of the hassle out of the arrangements. Green Island was just beautiful and the trip was really well organised. We loved the semi submersible and the glass bottom boat trips. A brilliant day - although if you are not a great sailor I would recommend you take the free travel sickness tablets they offer onboard the boat as the waters can get a bit choppy! We thought Green Island was as good as it got - but Kuranda was just amazing! The train ride, the rainforest tour and the skyrail back to Cairns was just brilliant. Kuranda Rainforest is surely one of the most beautiful places on earth. Would recommend the train up and the skyrail down rather than the other way around as it was magical to sit so quietly in the cable car at the end of such an exciting day and just listen to the sounds of the forest below. Most definitely a day to remember!

A fantastic day out to Green Island! The boat was comfortable and the buffet lunch on board was tasty. A wonderful place to snorkel and view the Great Barrier Reef. The submarine and glass bottom boat tours are a nice break from being in the water and sun. The island itself was also pretty cool, with a nice rain forest walk.

We enjoyed our trip to Green island. Ride over on the ferry was very rough but exciting.. We didn't enjoy the lunch it wasn't very appetising and had to pay extra for a cup of coffee that was cold and very strong. The island is lovely perfect for swimming or snorkelling. Our time on the glass bottom boat was well worth it, but felt a whole day on the island is too long as you are not swimming or snorkelling. Overall we had a good day if not somewhat tiring. Food sold on the island was good and good value for money.

Enjoyed the day but the glass bottom boat trip was supposed to be 1hr and it was only half an hour. Would be better to go to Green Is at high tide as there is a strong smell at low tide.

I'm so glad that we did this 2 day tour. My husband and I had a blast!! Green Island is amazing and the cruise over is beautiful, and the Kuranda trip is amazing! The train ride and skyrail are totally worth doing. I would do this trip again. Great time!

If you took the semi-sub (not bad), you may not want the glass bottom. Also this is our first time to Great Barrier Reef, without the guided tour, we could not find fishes and coral from the Green Island beaches. Quite disappointing !

Our trip to Green Island was very enjoyable and educational. The staff were friendly and always ready to assist when requested. We did a slow walk around Green Island, reading the information plates along the way, very informative.

From the very start the trip out to Green Island was very comfortable. It was well organized. At Green Island the glass bottom boart trip was very rewarding, even though they said the fish were not to be fed, they promptly fed them to attract them to the glass bottom boats. The beaches were lovely and very safe. My grandson had a wonderful time snorkelling and seeing the underwater wildlife in particular two wild turtles close-up. Lunch was a bit higelty pigelty, but nevertheless fresh and filling. Everyone was courteous and friendly. I recommend the trip for those on a limited budget, as it was almost as good as the outer reef trips I have previously been on.

This was a good trip, however there could have been some instruction on what to look out for if snorkeling on ones own. When doing a similar trip in Egypt we had expert tuition regarding any poisonous fish or fauna etc, this was lacking on the green island trip

Fantastic trip from beginning to end. We were picked up timely at our accommodations and taken to the Big Cat terminal, and then onto Green Island. Highly recommend Big Cat Company and this tour.
