Green Island

This tiny coral cay, just 26km off the coast of Cairns, is a popular spot with daytrippers. The island is a national park and there is very good snorkelling.


It is best visited as a day trip as accommodation on the island is expensive. Part of the resort has facilities for day-trippers.
