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! 🐠🌴

The whole experience was lovely from the pickup at the hotel through to the drop off in the afternoon. Our coach hostess was delightful and gave heaps of information and tips. We loved the day.

What a fabulous experience. Loved the reef, staff were very accomodating, and the tour came with a glass bottom boat, and semi-submersible experience. Food was below par though, nowhere near enough variety for a buffet and ran out quickly. Was disappointed with the food. But everything else was terrific!

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.

Driver TOMI was awesome!! But the drop off spot for river cruise is the narrow roadside.. have to walk on the road to get to the boat.. it's DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE!! Something needs to be done..

The tour was amazing and the aquarium was beautiful. Our Marine Biologist Jade was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the marine life. The food was also amazing at squires loft restaurant. The eye fillet was perfect. Great night and very informative tour. Highly recommend the Night Tour of the Aquarium.
