Located 27 kilometres off the coast of Cairns, Green Island is surrounded by coral reef. The small island is home to 120 species of native plants, however the coconuts on the island were planted to provide food for shipwrecked sailors. These days it is an amazing place to take a day tour, with activities such as walks and a glass bottom boat allowing you to discover the beautiful natural environment of the island. The close proximity of the reef means the island also offers excellent opportunities for snorkelling.
