We had a wonderful experience with Big Cat Cruises to Green Island from Cairns. The cruise was comfortable, well organised, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the journey. The glass-bottom boat tour was a highlight for our family. We loved seeing the beautiful coral, colourful fish, and marine life without needing to snorkel. Green Island itself was beautiful and perfect for a relaxing family day out. A fantastic experience and highly recommended for families visiting Cairns. Thank you Big Cat Cruises for making our day so memorable! 🐠🌴

It was a magical day with my family, even our 4yo snorkeled with us. We were very lucky with the weather, saw sea turtles, lots of fish and even reef shark. Corals are amazing!

We enjoyed the glass bottom boat especially the commentary of the guide, however we would have liked it to have been a bit longer. We didn't realize that the half day tour would give us such little amount of time. Most of the time was getting to the island and getting back.

The trip there and back , the island was disappointing to me , glass bottom boat was a waste of time and money as the tide was middle going out and as the water cloudy you could not see anything, I know you can't do anything about the weather and tides but needs more thought compared to green island it was , to me anyway , disappointing.
