About this tour
Explore Green Island with indigenous guides who share traditional stories woven through the reef and land. This 7-hour experience departs from Cairns aboard a catamaran, taking roughly 45 minutes each way. You'll hear saltwater legends and Reef knowledge passed down through generations, led by Wunyami custodians committed to keeping culture alive whilst creating pathways for their community.

What to expect
You'll board a catamaran in Cairns and head to Green Island, where indigenous guides meet you to share knowledge rooted in millennia of connection to this place. Rather than a scripted talk, expect conversations that weave together reef ecology, traditional practices, and contemporary indigenous life. You then have freedom to snorkel the surrounding waters or opt for a glass-bottom boat if you prefer staying dry. The reef teems with fish and corals; the island itself is small enough to walk round leisurely. Bring lunch money or grab something from the on-island outlets. The return ferry departs at day's end.
Good to know
Pack swimwear, hat, and sunscreen. Snorkel gear is provided or choose the glass-bottom boat alternative. Infants travel free in prams. Lunch and drinks aren't included but available to purchase on the island. Allow time to sit and absorb rather than rushing; this tour values understanding over ticking boxes.
