Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Fitzroy Island 1-day tour [Optional snorkeling/lunch | Emerald Island]
Guest User2025-09-10
Easy to book with lots of options to suit your needs. We chose the transfer and snorkelling gear package. Just be mindful that you mind have to pick up the gear from other boat before heading to the one that will take you to the island. If you have a big family and kids, it might be problematic to take all of this stuff with you and walk to the boat. The boat was packed and we struggled to find a place to sit with all of this stuff, and had to seat separately. Apart from that the experience was great, the island is beautiful and you can see the reef and all the sea life. The beach itself is covered in washed away corals, which is beautiful but you might need coral shoes or crocs to make it easier to walk. You can also hike up the mountain or Nudey beach and the view and water is stunning. The food and water are pricey but you take take it with you from land.★

Reviews: Cairns: Green Island + Moore Reef Activity Platform Combo
Guest User2025-12-20
The activity was great. The catamaran ride, however, was very choppy. The children and I got a bit seasick. The snorkeling at the pontoon was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful crew.★

Reviews: Silverswift Dive and Snorkel Great Barrier Reef Cruise
Guest User2025-08-10
Have access to 3 amazing reefs and crew is amazing. Safety is taken seriously and hence you feel safe while snorkelling (even you don’t know swimming like me ). For first time scuba divers, maybe practicing in pool water could have been better for acclimatisation to give confidence.★

Reviews: Cairns Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises Half-Day Tour [1-Day Tour/Short Itinerary/Snorkeling Glass Boat]
Guest User2024-02-24
As soon as we boarded the boat, a handsome young man greeted us and introduced the facilities and activities on board. Seeing that my mother was older, he told us which seats in the cabin were comfortable and less prone to motion sickness. Once on the island, it truly lived up to the description—a small, green island, but with everything you'd expect. We strolled along the beach, watching young people snorkel, and my mother was especially delighted, like a child, taking a glass-bottom boat tour to see the coral and fish. It was fantastic.★

Reviews: Cairns Dreamtime Great Barrier Reef Cruise (2 Coral Reefs)
Guest User2026-01-02
We had an outstanding experience with the Dreamtime Cairns Great Barrier Reef & Snorkel Tour. Everything from start to finish was excellent and very well organised. The service was exceptional, with friendly, knowledgeable, and professional staff who made everyone feel safe and comfortable. The snorkeling experience was absolutely superb — crystal-clear water, beautiful coral, and an unforgettable adventure on the Great Barrier Reef. The whole trip was enjoyable, smooth, and truly memorable. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Cairns and wanting a world-class reef and snorkel experience!
