Brilliant day. The guys on the boat were very pleasant and helpful. I would definitely recommend the full day trip. An opportunity to do some snorkeling; however, if you have snorkeled in the Red Sea you may be a little disappointed as the coral in this particular area is not brightly coloured. But having said this, it is still worth doing.

Boat was quite busy, but it only took about 45 minutes to get to Green Island and once there you could walk anywhere on the island and not bump into many people! We snorkelled and saw loads of amazing fish, a stingray and a reef shark! Coral was beautiful. We also walked around the island and had the lunch on board the boat. If you want to rent equipment on the island it was very expensive.. even a sunlounger and umbrella cost an arm and leg! But if you are going to enjoy the island and coral it is well worth it. If you want water sports and to lounge on the beach I think you could find somewhere a lot cheaper.

No trip to Australia should be made without visiting the Great Barrier Reef. If you love snorkeling or scuba diving, this is the place for you. I felt like I was swimming in an aquarium with all the beautiful fish and corals - MAGNIFY this experience a thousand fold and you get it. The Big Cat was on time, clean and the staff was friendly. Would definitely do this again!
