The Ultimate Green Island Cairns Getaway: Great Barrier Reef, Island Luxury & Tropical Adventure

Looking for an unforgettable Great Barrier Reef holiday? Escape to Green Island Resort, a tropical island retreat just 45 minutes from Cairns by catamaran. Surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef and covered in lush rainforest, Green Island is one of Queensland’s most unique island destinations.
Our Green Island Resort Mystery Weekend Getaway combines island accommodation, daily breakfast, reef experiences, dining credit, drinks, and return transfers from Cairns—making it easy to enjoy a tropical escape without the stress of planning every detail.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic island getaway, a family holiday in Queensland, or an unforgettable Great Barrier Reef adventure, Green Island offers the perfect mix of relaxation and exploration.

Why Visit Green Island from Cairns?

Just 45 minutes from Cairns, Green Island offers the rare opportunity to stay overnight on a tropical coral cay within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Unlike a typical Green Island day trip, staying at Green Island Resort allows you to experience the island at a slower pace, after many day visitors have returned to Cairns.
Spend your day swimming in crystal-clear water, snorkelling above colourful coral and marine life, exploring rainforest trails, or relaxing on the beach.
For travellers searching for things to do on Green Island, the island offers an incredible combination of reef adventures and tropical relaxation.

What Makes Green Island Resort Special?

Your stay is in an Island Suite King Room, giving you a comfortable retreat surrounded by the natural beauty of this unique Queensland destination.
Green Island is one of the few coral cays in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park that is covered in rainforest, creating a spectacular contrast between lush greenery and brilliant blue ocean.
Between adventures, relax beside the resort’s swimming pool, wander the island’s nature trails, or enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the beach.
When evening arrives, watch the sunset over the rainforest before enjoying a drink and dinner at the resort.

What Can You Do on Green Island?

Your package includes a full-day Great Barrier Reef tour, making this an ideal choice for travellers searching for Great Barrier Reef tours from Cairns.
You can also enjoy:
● 🐠 30-minute glass-bottom boat tour
● 🤿 Complimentary snorkelling and beach equipment
● 🌿 Self-guided rainforest walk
● 🐟 Daily fish-feeding presentation on the jetty
● 🤿 20% off introductory or certified scuba diving
Whether you’re an experienced diver or visiting the Great Barrier Reef for the first time, there are plenty of ways to discover the marine life surrounding Green Island.
Where Can You Eat at Green Island Resort?
Your tropical getaway includes a daily buffet breakfast at Emeralds Restaurant, helping you start each morning before heading out for another island adventure.
You’ll also receive a A$75 dining credit per package, which can be used across the resort’s bars and restaurants.
Enjoy locally sourced Australian flavours at Emeralds, barista-made coffee and casual bites at Lite Bites, or relaxed family dining at The Canopy Grill.
For couples looking for a more memorable evening, private beach dining can add a romantic touch to your Queensland island getaway.

What Is a Green Island Resort Getaway Like?

A typical day can begin with breakfast at Emeralds before heading out on your Great Barrier Reef tour.
Spend the day snorkelling, discovering marine life, exploring the rainforest, or taking a glass-bottom boat tour.
Back at the resort, enjoy a swim, relax on the beach, or simply slow down and enjoy island life.
As evening approaches, enjoy your nightly sparkling wine, beer, or juice before choosing where to dine using your included dining credit.
The following morning, take another rainforest walk, enjoy the beach, or make the most of the resort before boarding your return catamaran to Cairns.

Is Green Island Good for a Weekend Getaway?

Absolutely. Green Island is ideal for travellers who want to combine Cairns accommodation, Great Barrier Reef experiences, and tropical island relaxation in one trip.
Couples can enjoy a romantic island escape, families can experience snorkelling and marine adventures together, and adventure seekers can add scuba diving and reef experiences to their itinerary.
