What to know

Green Island is a coral cay 45 minutes off Cairns, and what you pay is the boat, not an entry fee. Great Adventures charges A$112 for adults and A$56 for children aged 4 to 14, with under 4s free and a family of four at A$287, giving up to seven hours ashore. Big Cat runs comparable full day trips from A$109. Read the fine print: the headline price is transfer only, covering the catamaran, island day facilities, pool and a self-guided walk, but not lunch and not activities. Snorkel hire or the glass-bottom boat adds about A$32, and bundled tours run to A$156. The A$8.50 reef Environmental Management Charge is included and no fuel surcharge applies to island-only cruises.

When to go

The planner warns of wet in January, February, March. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
