Big Cat - Green Island |
The coral island that made the Great Barrier Reef famous.
Here a world of incredible beauty, diversity and spectacle awaits you. In the living reef that surrounds Green Island you will discover a coral tapestry rich in colour and form that is home to an abundance of tropical marine life; endless varieties of fish, giant clams, starfish, shells, anemones, eels, turtles, sponges, sea urchins and many more.
Now part of a protected Marine Park, Green Island is the perfect place to snorkel, enjoy a dip in the clear, cool, island waters all year round, view the reef in all its splendour, or just relax on the sandy beaches. With "Big Cat" the day is yours to enjoy!
See and experience all that Green Island has to offer with the friendly Big Cat crew.
