Green Island: 40-Min Guided Flight + Boat Cruise from Cairns + Lunch

About this experience

Cairns: Green Island Scenic Flight and Boat Cruise with Lunch This full-day experience combines a spectacular 40-minute scenic flight over the Great Barrier Reef with a relaxing cruise to Green Island. The tour begins at Cairns Airport, where guests board a spacious aircraft designed for optimal viewing. A window seat is guaranteed, giving every passenger an unobstructed view of the world-renowned reef from above. After taking in panoramic views of vibrant coral formations and turquoise waters, the guide transfers the group to Cairns Reef Terminal for the cruise aboard the Reef Rocket vessel. Green Island offers sandy shores, crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkelling, and lush rainforest trails to explore at your own pace. A buffet lunch is included, served on the island during your time ashore. Whether you are seeking adventure or peaceful relaxation, this tour offers a considered balance of both. Experienced staff provide assistance and share local insights throughout the day, whilst guests enjoy the freedom to explore the island independently.
