Brilliant day out. Parts of the island are really quiet and look like paradise. However the highlight was the semi- submerine trip. The views of the fish and corals were amazing. The view from unde…Full review by AayushiBadshah

I did the half day tour, because I don't swim & dive & the package come with the glass bottom boat for free (or scuba diving - choose one). If you pay a bit more for the half submersible boat activity. it is quite interesting. For me, the half day tour is just nice, it can be a bit tight for the activities - reach the island, about 30 minutes free activities break, then join the half submersible boat, & then immediately join the glass bottom boat, & then on the way back to Cairn again. Not much time wasted. As for the cost, check on the website - Big cat Green Island Cruise.
Hi, Can the Snorkel Tour Experience and Snuba be done by someone who doesn't know how to swim? What is the difference between the two? Rgds, Bhavana

Hello my name is Ben Walker. I am an instructor from Big Cat Green Island. I’m sorry I did not see your question earlier. The answer is yes. Everyday we are working with people for both snorkeling and snuba that can not swim. The only prerequisite is that you are over 6 years of age, are medically fit and healthy (if you have asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, serious heart / lung diseases or are taking heavy prescription medication you should see a doctor prior for clearance) and that under the supervision of a trained instructor you are prepared to get wet in the water. The activity of snorkeling is when you are floating on the surface of the water and you are breathing through a snorkel tube. Your face is in the water while the tube remains above the surface. The activity of SNUBA is when you can float on the surface or go to a depth of 3 metres underwater. You are breathing through a regulator mouthpiece which is linked by a 3 metre long airline to an an air tank floating on the surface. You can choose if you want to go up and down by using your hands on the airline. You do not need to know how to swim.
We are going to Cairns in July, we are not keen on snorkeling, so we were wondering if there is enough to do on Green Island for a full day? we love walking and a glass bottom boat trip would be nice.

There is beautiful beach, you also have swimming pool, if you want to miss the beach swimming. Big Cat also run half day your in case you do not want a full day tour. I suggest rather than Glass bottom try Semi-Submersible submarine, it is better. If you do get sea-sick easily, do not take fast boat.
Hi - does the weather affect whether you can still go ahead with tours to the island? Are there any weathers you will not operate tours? If so what happens to our booking/money in this case?
A:
Normal weather problem is not a challenge,as the boat is big enough to withstand any turbulence. However, in case of highly inclement weather, in case the operator chooses not to …
Normal weather problem is not a challenge,as the boat is big enough to withstand any turbulence. However, in case of highly inclement weather, in case the operator chooses not to operate , in such scenario- I am sure they have provisions to refund. You need to contact operator.
