Green Island is a picturesque coral cay located just 45 minutes from Cairns, nestled within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. This 15-hectare island features white sandy beaches, sapphire blue waters, and a lush rainforest interior, making it an ideal getaway for those seeking a blend of relaxation and adventure. As one of the few sand cays with rainforests, it offers unique biodiversity, including 126 native plant species and abundant marine life. The island's small size allows visitors to easily explore its circumference, which is about 1.5 kilometers. After the day trippers leave, guests staying at the resort can enjoy the tranquility of having the island almost to themselves.
The Green Island Resort, eco-sensitive and luxurious, provides upscale accommodations, spa facilities, and a poolside bar. Visitors can engage in various activities, from snorkeling and glass-bottom boat tours to exploring the rainforest trails. Despite its popularity, the island's natural beauty and protected status under UNESCO ensure that commercial activities are carefully managed.
Green Island is renowned as a family-friendly destination, offering shallow waters perfect for children and families who wish to snorkel, swim, or simply enjoy a picnic on the beach.
