Green Island at the Great Barrier Reef, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, is home to Green Island, a small Coral cay. With important heritage sites and a lush rainforest, it is a visitor’s paradise.

Green Island was declared a national park in 1936, and the first guests accommodations opened in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become a vacation destination for overnight and day visitors alike. Guests enjoy a casual atmosphere and tropical climate.

Green Island is proud to be known for many “firsts.” It is home to the world’s first underwater observatory where guests can see what it is like under the great seas surrounding the island. It was also home to the first movie theater ever opened on an island!

There are many free activities on the island and other optional activities in which guests can participate. One of the most popular is a trip to Marineland Melanesia Aquarium, Museum, and Crocodile Farm. This unique day destination offers an interesting alternative to a day at the beach!

With affordable accommodations, beautiful scenery, and quiet serenity, it is no wonder that Green Island is so popular with guests. It is easily accessible from Cairns and offers a peaceful vacation destination.
