About Green Island
Green Island is a 12 hectare island that is said to have been formed thousands of years ago by the build-up of coral and rubble on the calm side of the lagoons coral wall and its development into what it is today was also assisted by migrating birds carrying seeds within their bodies.
Today Green Island is covered in tropical trees and vine forests and home to an array of both permanent and migratory birds. The islands lagoons are home to a dazzling array of marine life and the Green and Hawksbill turtles still nest on Green Island each year although not as frequently as they had in years gone by but this may have something to do with their current fragility of health and sea grass bed food availability and their decline in numbers with further endangerment of near extinction.
There are boardwalks, a dive centre, shops; restaurants, a day spa, and a luxury resort on the island today that attracts hundreds of tourists to its shores every day of the year come rain or shine for a tropical island holiday getaway.
Whilst Green island is not a big island it still takes you around an hour to gently circumnavigate it shores and explore all the rock pools and gaze out across the ocean to the waters of the Great Barrier Reef.
