WHAT YOU VISIT
Green Island
Renowned as one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of the World," the 37-acre island is surrounded by a coral reef and located within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park World Heritage area. To make your day even more enjoyable be sure to wear a bathing suit, change of clothes and bring along a hat, towel, and sunscreen. When you arrive, you'll embark on a glass-bottom boat tour or secure your snorkel equipment for a dive under the cerulean waters. Or you may choose to take a self-guided walk around the island or stroll through the rainforest and observe over 120 species of native plants. If you're looking to get your adrenaline pumping, try parasailing for a bird's eye view of the reef. (Optional activities are an additional expense).

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
If you go for a dive, have an underwater camera handy to capture the brilliantly-colored marine life you'll encounter. Land lubbers may wish to check out Marineland Melanesia, a crocodile habitat and home to a large private collection of exotic Melanesian tribal artifacts and aquariums. Be sure to see Cassius, the world's largest crocodile in captivity.

SNACK
When hunger calls, you'll be treated to a salad roll of your choice: ham and cheese, egg and mayo, or chicken and avocado (choice based on first come / first served basis), seasonal whole fruit, bottle of water or can of soft drink and a packet of chips. If you prefer to purchase lunch or snacks, cafés on the boardwalk accept local currency.

SHOPPING
Browse the shops that line the boardwalk or visit the gift shop in Marineland Melanesia.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Your day begins at the pier with a 10min walk the Reef Fleet Terminal. Here, you'll transfer to a catamaran and cruise across the Coral Sea to Green Island. Feel the sea breeze and the anticipation as you near this treasured isle, a 6,000-year-old cay surrounded by magnificent coral reefs and topped with the only rainforest in the Great Barrier Reef.

Bring local currency to purchase drinks and stinger suits. Card only is accepted on the island, no cash.

A 10-minute walk to and from the Reef Fleet Terminal is required.

Lycra Suits for hire at a charge of $9.00.

Free time on Green Island may vary due to the ship schedule. Also included is the use of the resort swimming pool.

Guests wishing to snorkel should be fully able bodied with a medium level of fitness. Always snorkel with a buddy, never snorkel alone.
