Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I check in and where does the boat depart from?

Check in starts at the Great Adventures counters inside the Reef Fleet Terminal (1 Spence Street in Cairns) 1 hour before your departure time. The boat will depart from A Finger jetty, just outside the Reef Fleet Terminal.

How long does the boat ride take to get to Green Island?

The journey to Green Island takes about 45 minutes each way.

Can we change the departure time of our ticket to an earlier or later one on Green Island?

If there is availability, the crew at the information counter on Green Island can amend your  ticket return time. If the boat is fully booked however, you will have to return on your original ticketed departure time.

Is Green Island considered to be a part of the Great Barrier Reef?

Yes it is! Green Island is situated in the inner part of the Great Barrier Reef.

What activities can I do on Green Island if I’m a non-swimmer?

There are plenty of activities to choose from if you are a non-swimmer! You can see the reef from a glass bottom boat, take a self-guided island walk, visit the marine life habitat to watch the turtle and croc feeding, take a scenic helicopter flight, rent kayaks, Jump on the Wunyami Indigenous tour, parasail, or even do a seawalker helmet diving tour (no swimming required!)

Does Green Island have wheelchair friendly facilities?

Wheelchair facilities are available, however there are some restrictions and some mobility may be required. There may be a few steps at the end of the gangway onto the jetty, depending on tide levels and the narrow gangways used when disembarking. Green Island has disabled bathroom facilities and pathways that are easy for wheelchairs to access. There is also a boardwalk that takes you directly through the rain forest into the centre of the Island.

Are lockers available at Green Island?

Coin lockers are available at Green Island and can be opened many times during the length of your hire.

Can I smoke on Green Island?

As a National Park, restrictions apply to smoking whilst on Green Island. Smoking is confined to the designated outdoor smoking area located near the Information Desk. This includes electronic cigarettes. Please note that smoking is not allowed on the jetty, the patrolled beach, or at picnic tables. Please ask the crew for further information if required.

Is Green Island pram friendly?

Green Island is suitable for taking a pram, with ample room on the boat and on the platform. The beach at Green Island has quite soft sand and therefore not practical for prams to be taken onto the beach area. There are however extensive wooden boardwalks that take you through the island’s rainforest, which are suitable for prams.

Are coach transfers available from my accommodation?

Unfortunately transfers are not available for this option. You will need to make your own way to the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal. It’s centrally located, and easy to walk to if you are staying in the city centre.
