    Fantastic. Snorkel gear provided. We snorkeled all day and saw some amazing sea life including sea turtles that we swam beside. Bit expensive on the island for drinks so I’d say bring your own. For me I didn’t think diving was worth it as there is so much to see even snorkeling.

    I don't travel too well on boats but still wanted to get to somewhere that I could do scuba diving and snorkeling. This was a perfect trip as I was on solid land once at green island! Very well organised, no problems using tickets etc. Would recommend to others X

    Wonderful day out

    We loved our Green Island adventure. The trip to and from Green Island was very comfortable aboard the catamaran - we preferred sitting downstairs around the table. The crew were very friendly and helpful and answered our questions and offered some tips as well. The trip to the reef on the glass bottom boat was terrific, with great commentary and we were excited to see turtles as well as colorful fish. Our criticisms were..1. the change room conditions - only very small areas near the lockers or the toilets which were small and the floors were very wet. 2. to use the sun lounges on the beach would have cost an extra $40 3. extra cost to use the snorkeling equipment Considering the cost to go to Green Island for a family of four, we expected better change room conditions and use of the above. Having said that we would recommend to others to make to trip to Green Island - it's amazing!
