Reviews: Cairns Great Barrier Reef 1-day tour with Silverswift [Optional scuba diving]
Guest User2024-03-30
The outer barrier reef is truly beautiful, with vibrant, colorful corals. The reason we chose Silver Swift is its professionalism; it's a godsend for diving enthusiasts. Only after getting up close to the corals do you realize that a true "coral sea" really exists!★

Reviews: From Cairns: Full-Day Green Island Cruise
Guest User2026-01-15
Really good fun! Nice to have the freedom to just swim around the island all day. Free drinking water on board was great, and super useful that the boat stays docked all day so you can hop on and off, and keep valuables locked away while swimming. It is quite expensive for what is effectively a ferry to the island, but the staff were all great and it is competitively priced with other similar tours.★

Reviews: Cairns Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises Half-Day Tour [1-Day Tour/Short Itinerary/Snorkeling Glass Boat]
Guest User2024-02-24
As soon as we boarded the boat, a handsome young man greeted us and introduced the facilities and activities on board. Seeing that my mother was older, he told us which seats in the cabin were comfortable and less prone to motion sickness. Once on the island, it truly lived up to the description—a small, green island, but with everything you'd expect. We strolled along the beach, watching young people snorkel, and my mother was especially delighted, like a child, taking a glass-bottom boat tour to see the coral and fish. It was fantastic.
