Reviews: Cairns Green Island Big Cat half-day tour with snorkeling/glass-bottom boat
Guest User2026-01-31
Since we only had a short stay, we decided to take a quick afternoon tour. The boat ride to the island was very rocky due to the rain and rough weather. I got seasick and couldn't move, so I recommend taking motion sickness medicine if you are prone to seasickness. I was impressed to see sea turtles swimming gracefully nearby.★

Reviews: Cairns Big Cat Green Island Great Barrier Reef Cruise Half-Day Tour - Optional Morning/Afternoon Snorkeling & Glass Bottom Boat
Guest User2026-04-01
The organization was excellent, and the transfer to and from the port was seamless. The catamaran was comfortable. The staff deserves a special mention – they were welcoming and friendly, 10000% out of 100! They were very attentive, always ready to help, and created a great atmosphere, no matter the weather. Unfortunately, the boat ride was canceled due to the weather, but we were refunded for that part of the tour without any questions asked – that was a relief. The reef itself and Green Island are, of course, beautiful, despite the weather. We weren't able to fully enjoy all the activities, but no one can control the weather.★

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with Silverswift [Optional scuba diving]
Guest User2026-03-02
Overall, the experience was good. I went on three certified deep-sea dives to different places, but saw similar things. The price was a bit high, probably because of the excellent service and the increased prices on meals. All diving equipment was provided, so there was no need to worry about extra charges.★

Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef Fitzroy Island 1-day tour with optional snorkeling/guided snorkeling
Guest User2024-11-07
This was my second time on Filoi Island. The last time I went snorkeling alone, I saw a sea turtle 𓆉. This time, I went to the beach on the other side of the island with my daughter and we saw a Napoleon wrasse! \(^o^)/ We were incredibly lucky!
