Adventure Destinations: Green Island, QLD

  • By CTO Admin

At some stage, a welcome break from traveling the open raods of Australia is essential. A variety of contrasting modes of travel makes a good trip into extraordinary experience. So lets get off the road and take a boat ride out to Green Island off the coast of Cairns in Queensland.

 

Stay for a day or even take your time and book in for a few nights. This delightful oasis is a small and beautiful rainforest covered coral cay surrounded by clear tropical waters only 45 minutes boat ride from Cairns. Spend a leisurely day exploring the cool, shaded nature trails around the island and discover the colourful bird life and unique rainforest or swim and snorkel the coral gardens surrounding this tropical island paradise.

 

The island is only 15 hectares and you can easily wander the beach all the way around. Green Island also has a range of activities to fill your day with, from snorkeling and fishing, to scenic heli flights and parasailing.
