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.

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! 🐠🌴

Asking what u lived must us presumptive. The puck up time was incorrect meaning we stood around for over an hour from 6.45am. Then there were only single seats available for the entire day. I was with my granddaughter and we missed being able to chat. However, Leila, our tour guide was magnificent. Very knowledgable and inclusive. The experiences were fabulous.

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.

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.

Worthwhile and wonderful tour. Lots of information. It was necessarily rapid to get through all the areas. I think the Aquarium should offer self guided tickets at a reduced price to people that have done the tour so these could be used later

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!
