Green Island Diving

You can experience some of Australia’s most exotic diving when you travel to beautiful Green Island in far north Queensland. Green Island is a true coral island covered with tropical rainforests and fringed by white sandy beaches and a huge coral reef system.

Only a short 45 minute catamaran transfer away, Green Island is a beautiful 6000 year old coral cay and is the gateway to the adventure playground of the Great Barrier Reef which is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Revel in an array of activities or relax and let you day unfold. Stroll through magical rainforest, laze on the white coral sands, swim, dive or snorkel amongst an amazing array of tropical fish and coral gardens, or enjoy the well-appointed day visitor facilities.

You can spend as much time as you like exploring the magnificent coral gardens and reefs that surround this island paradise and see beautiful spectacles of brightly coloured reef fish and other marine species. There are a range of tours that you can board from either Green Island itself or from the neighbouring city of Cairns on the mainland.

Many wonderful tour operators run daily trips to the Great Barrier Reef for you to experience this amazing place for yourself, which is great for all ages! From snorkelling trips to the scuba diving adventures, you can take your pick. Swim through coral formations and expect to see turtles, large rays, reef sharks, a variety of clams, corals and colourful fish species.

If you have never done any diving before there are some great courses that you can do, that will have you diving down to the beautiful underwater world in no time at all. No experience is necessary to take a fully supervised introductory dive and explore the reef and its amazing marine life.

There are full day tours that you can book onto, but if you are looking for something a little more, then why not check out the extended overnight tours for a true diving adventure that you will never forget. The experienced staff on board your luxury sailing vessel will provide you with all of the equipment that you need, whether you wish to snorkel or dive, and take you to some exciting caves, bommies and interlocking reefs.

Green Island is not only a tropical island paradise but also a pristine National Park and is home to over 120 native plant species, colourful bird life and completely surrounded by coral gardens and an abundance of marine life to explore. It’s the only coral cay on the Great Barrier Reef with a rainforest growing on it! So it doesn’t matter if you are certified diver or not, you can still explore and experience this natural wonderland that is just waiting for you on your next divine adventure.
