Green Island Resort

Location Details - Green Island, Tropical North Queensland

Green Island is a unique part of the Whitsundays with its secluded beaches and direct access to the Great Barrier Reef.  Only a 45 minute boat ride transfer from Cairns, Green Island Resort is widely regarded as one of the world’s most eco-sensitive tourism developments. Structurally, all resort buildings and infrastructure (e.g. boardwalks) were built with minimal vegetation clearing, in many cases the structures were built around the trees. No building extrudes above the tree canopy, therefore preserving the natural appearance of the island from the water, shoreline and air. From Green Island visitors can board day cruise vessels and journey out to the famous reefs. Enjoy a range of water activities including snorkelling, introductory diving and certified diving, or stay dry in a semi-submarine and explore the magnificent underwater world of the colourful fish and striking coral reefs. Hire a canoe, try stand up paddle boarding or spend your day relaxing under a beach umbrella. Explore the resort shops for gifts and souvenirs, walk the beaches, swim in the warm waters and discover the local wildlife along the boardwalks that lead through the lush island rainforest of the National Park.
