Stunning day on the reef to Green Island. The staff were excellent. They offered a prescription mask so that I could fully appreciate the beautiful underwater creatures. The food was fresh, plentiful and catered for a good range of dietary needs. Definitely recommended for a wonderful way to experience the Great Barrier Reef.

Green Island was amazing and a fantastic day out for the whole family. The kids absolutely loved it, and we were surprised by just how much there was to see and do throughout the day. There was plenty to keep everyone entertained, while still having time to relax and enjoy the beautiful island. The cruise was easy and enjoyable, and the whole experience was definitely one of the highlights of our Cairns trip. Highly recommend it for families!

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! 🐠🌴

This was an exceptional day to Green Island, with a comfortable air-conditioned boat ride to the island, accessible island beaches for snorkeling, suitable for people of all ages and astonishing beauty of the reef with high level of fish and marine activity, which far surpassed ourexpectation. We also enjoyed the glass bottom boat ride, which was very worthwhile. This is a beautiful spot. Thanks for an excellent day out.

Sitting in open air looking at views. The boats themselves need a new paint job on the outside - inside boats were nice and clean and staff were welcoming.

Staff were very friendly. Mae gave great advice about basic snorkeling and I was able to use her tips. The water was beautiful and lots of fish to see. The little snack box we got was tasty and enjoyable. An adjustment to the website to disdisnguish between check in time and the time the boat leaves would be beneficial. It's a bit confusing.

Great Boat Ride. Lovely island and amazing food at Foxy's Cafe. Secret Garden and the beach and the overall snorkeling experience etc itself is mesmerizing. Would have given 5 stars if the information provided wasn't incorrect. Our email clearly said check-in starts at 8:45 and boat departure 9:45. We were having breakfast hardly 200M away from the venue all ready to rock at 9:00. And they rang us at 8:35 asking us to be on the terminal in 5 mins otherwise we will miss the boat and our tour will be canceled without any refunds (policy). We left the fully paid breakfast order on the table and rushed to the terminal only to realize the boat had left without us. We showed them our email instructions and they realized the mistake had been made either by them or by headout. Finally checked us in next cruise which left at 10:45. We had to explain our situation at all the stations and experience spots because no one had our names on the manifest. The Sunlover team booked us for the boat ride only but they couldn't add us in the manifest of any other experiences. It just made the day stressful without any fault of us and we ended up getting late for the whole day. Other than this debacle the actual tour and the experience was pretty good.

Introductory dive with Tom. His instructions & support took all my nerves away. He took me down to see a giant clam. Such beautiful colours. Seafood lunch was fresh fruit all day was appreciated. Really loved sailing home with sails up & no engines as so relaxing going with motion of the sea. An amazing day. Thank you to all staff on board. You made the trip more special.
