Save $50.00 on our Family Great Barrier Reef Tour Deal, 2nd Child Travels Free!
For the families with some active teenagers that still need some parental guidance and amusement everyone can partake in some Green Island beach fun together and hire some equipment which includes beach umbrellas and lounge chairs, play a game of beach volley ball, try their hand at kayaking and canoeing, surf skiing, wind surfing or parasailing on the back of a fast ski boat.
The water activities at Green Island are also exciting with a glass bottom boat tour for those guests that are not snorkelers but would still like to see the Great Barrier Reef coral and marine life.
Scuba Diving - Seawalker Helmet Diving from Green Island on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia
The underwater activities include introductory and certified scuba diving tours from the island or try the Seawalker Helmet diving, where you walk on the ocean floor with a Helmet on your head and fresh air coming down to you from above via a hose connected to your Helmet.
The deeper waters off Green Island offer the scuba diver some magnificent visuals of not only brightly coloured corals but also an abundance of marine life.
Whale migration season in the months of July to August is the perfect time to be taking a tour to Green Island as the whales seem to love this place and it's not uncommon to sight them on your travel to and from this tropical paradise. Please note whales are wild animals and seeghtings are not guaranteed during these months.
Parasailing on Green Island
Pre-book your spot to go Parasailing on the Great Barrier Reef just off Green Island. Parasailing is a fun activity for the whole family.
Scenic Helicopter Flights Green Island
A scenic helicopter flight over Green Island is certainly the piece de resistance to end a day of snorkeling and scuba diving on the Cairns Great Barrier Reef.
Fly only 500 feet above the water to see the coral reef structures revealed before your eyes. See the marine life down below as they frolic in the calm safe waters of Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
Helicopter flights can be booked for 10, 15 minutes or longer and you can even fly from Green Island out to the GA pontoon that sits on the outer barrier reef at Norman Reef for a day of snorkeling and diving or riding around in a semi submersible submarine or on an underwater motor bike called Scuba Doo.
Pre-book your scenic helicopter flight here to ensure you do not miss this fabulous way to see one of the seven natural wonders of the world from above just like you see in the tourist brochures.
Other Green Island Activity Choices
If its relaxation you are after then make sure you make a visit to the day spa at the Green Island Resort for a massage and pampering.
Just as you get off the transfer boat from Cairns go directly to the Green Island Resort and make your day spa booking so that you can then go off and enjoy everything else that Green Island offers a half day or full day visitor.

Marineland Melanesia
Get ready to see the oldest and the world's largest salt water Crocodile in captivity here on Green Island (just pray he does not escape whilst you're snorkeling).
This pre-historic predator goes by the name of Cassius and you can see him being hand fed along with his female friends.
See the sea turtles that are being looked after and rehabilitated after being rescued for boat damage, disease or net damages and other things like the ingestion of plastic bags.
Go and explore the worlds largest private collection of primitive art and marine artifacts all in the one location. An entry fee to Marineland Melanesia applies of course.
Circumnavigate Green Island, take yourself off for some quiet time and explore the other side of the island away from all the tourists and the water sports arena.
Follow the boardwalk paths until you come to a beach clearing and then kick off your thongs and dig your toes deep into the soft sand.
As the tide drops you just may see some fish stuck in the gutters or some black tip reef sharks hunting around for some stragglers.
Just make sure you are back on the Green Island jetty in time to catch your ferry tour boat back to Cairns Marlin Marina.
