Reviews: Cairns Sunlover Fitzroy Island 1-day tour [Optional snorkeling/lunch | Emerald Island]
Guest User2025-09-10
Easy to book with lots of options to suit your needs. We chose the transfer and snorkelling gear package. Just be mindful that you mind have to pick up the gear from other boat before heading to the one that will take you to the island. If you have a big family and kids, it might be problematic to take all of this stuff with you and walk to the boat. The boat was packed and we struggled to find a place to sit with all of this stuff, and had to seat separately. Apart from that the experience was great, the island is beautiful and you can see the reef and all the sea life. The beach itself is covered in washed away corals, which is beautiful but you might need coral shoes or crocs to make it easier to walk. You can also hike up the mountain or Nudey beach and the view and water is stunning. The food and water are pricey but you take take it with you from land.★

Reviews: From Cairns: Great Barrier Reef Pontoon Experience
Guest User2025-08-11
Had a great day at the platform. Really enjoyed snorkeling and there was an additional option to go scuba diving. Lunch was lovely and enjoyed the submersible also. If you aren't great with boats, keep in mind that it takes two hours to reach the platform.★

Reviews: Silverswift Dive and Snorkel Great Barrier Reef Cruise
Guest User2025-08-10
Have access to 3 amazing reefs and crew is amazing. Safety is taken seriously and hence you feel safe while snorkelling (even you don’t know swimming like me ). For first time scuba divers, maybe practicing in pool water could have been better for acclimatisation to give confidence.★

Reviews: Cairns Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises Half-Day Tour [1-Day Tour/Short Itinerary/Snorkeling Glass Boat]
Guest User2024-02-24
As soon as we boarded the boat, a handsome young man greeted us and introduced the facilities and activities on board. Seeing that my mother was older, he told us which seats in the cabin were comfortable and less prone to motion sickness. Once on the island, it truly lived up to the description—a small, green island, but with everything you'd expect. We strolled along the beach, watching young people snorkel, and my mother was especially delighted, like a child, taking a glass-bottom boat tour to see the coral and fish. It was fantastic.★

Reviews: Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling and Diving Cruise from Cairns
Guest User2024-09-14
Fantastic day with great staff who look after every need. We stopped at two reefs and had a great deal of time at each. I felt very safe and secure throughout, they really look after everyone. Great lunch too with options for everyone. The fish and reef were beyond incredible and I only wish I could have stayed longer in Cairns as I would absolutely repeat this tour!
