My daughter and I took the ferry to Green Island. We went on the glass bottom boat to view the sea life on the Great Barrier reef. We walked to the Island for lunch. We checked out the museum where the biggest crocodile in the world lives. Walked around Green Island.

We had an incredible day aboard the Big Cat Green Island tours. The crew were amazing, the whole day ran smoothly and efficiently. They were even there assisting passengers who felt unwell, giving them ice and bags! The submarine trip was well worth it and the buffet lunch was delicious. We then got to snorkel on Green Island, seeing a reef shark and millions of gorgeous fish. Overall well worth the money and the highlight of our holiday.

The crossing was pleasant even if the sea was a little angry due to a “rogue” weather, the island is beautiful with wonderful colors, the sea is very beautiful even if a little tried by too many boats…. We took the included lunch as several reviews said it was good and varied…. If you are Italian forget it… get 2 sandwiches which is better !!!!
