Green Island was to be the highlight of our honeymoon but due to a medical emergency we only got to stay 2 nights. That was a terrible shame because Green Island is just gorgeous and we would have loved to enjoy it for longer. The first thing to say is that we were looked after incredibly well when my wife... more

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Green Island Resort. From check in at Cairns, everything was taken care of efficiently. We did not see our luggage again until entering our room. The boat to the island takes around 45 mins and Troy, an enthusiastic and friendly receptionist, met us at the pier and brought us around the... more

Small resort in a small island. During daytime 09:30-16:00 lot of day-visitors. After 4 pm the resort is totally different - you almost have to search for other guests. Free champagne, fish feeding and nightwalks are great as are glass-bottom boat tours and trip to ponttoons. At evenings there is only one restaurant. It's nice, pricy and little slow. Try... more

This place really has 2 parts to it. One during the day and the other after about 4:00pm and before 10am the next morning. During those daylight hours the island is invaded by tourists from the mainland. As a resort guest you are really well looked after, it's definitely worth it to stay over, you get your privacy within the... more

Stay on Green Island overnight and you'll have the place to yourself. I highly recommend watching the sunrise. We were completely alone and walked the 1 mile perimeter seeing turtles, birds, lizards, and starfish. It was one of the highlights of our 3-week honeymoon in Australia. During the daytime, we were away from the island SCUBA diving, so the tourists... more

I've become a regular visitor to Green Island for weekend trips. Only 4 hours by plane and boat from Sydney, Green Island Resort is the perfect get-away from everything. Once the day tourists, who only frequent some parts of the beach but not the entire resort, leave, it's an extremely quiet oasis with a maximum of c. 100 guests on... more

You cant just get enough of this place, its about an hour from Cairns and a Catamaran takes you to the Island. The rooms are great, though basic but very well decorated. The best part is the Island is near the great barrier reef and you can enjoy snorkeling, Diving, Glass bottom boats. In the evening they have a fish... more

For our family holiday 2006 we wanted to go snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, after much searching on hotels and day trips to the reef i decided on Green Island. For the price of the day trip and the accommodation in a Cairns hotel we could stay 2 days and just snorkel from the island any time of the... more

My wife and I stayed at the Green Island Resort during a week in the month of February 2009. We were glad that a package was offered to us directly from the resort that included breakfast and dinners, boat transfers from Cairns along with snorkel equipment, shade and chairs on the beach among other amenities--including a bottle of cold champagne... more
