Extremely low passenger number Great Barrier Reef & Green Island tour (max 25 guests). In fact the only small sail, reef and tropical island experience in Cairns. Swim, snorkel or dive straight off the boat onto an exclusive magnificent GBR site - no crowds. The boat is moored just 1Km off Green Island - a highly protected Marine Park zone. From Cairns, sail to this reef site and Green Island in style on a two-mast schooner and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch on board. After snorkelling off the boat take a tender transfer to explore the beauty of Green Island, see the rainforest or laze on the white sandy beaches.

We had a wonderful experience with the crew snorkelling and sailing! The crew were so friendly and approachable. They went out of their way to make sure we were all comfortable. Their attention to safety was also amazing! They made sure everyone onboard was across the safety procedures. The snorkelling was fantastic. Crystal clear water , visibility was pretty good. Lots of corals and fish activity. Green island was also nice but we didn’t venture in as we wanted to make the most of being at the beach.
I could to this every day !! Thanks for a great day out and I will definitely come back next year!!

Pascal and crew were incredible. All of the less confident snorkelers on the boat got guided snorkels - typically one guide per two people. My daughter and I did a dive for the first time - again lots of handholding (quite literally) and confidence boosting support. Definitely the best boat tour I we did at the Great Barrier Reef by a long way. If you want to explore GBR without the crush of tourists on a large boat, this is the one for you.

Perfect from start to finish. Cap on number of people and delightful crew made this a first rate experience. Great reef scuba and moor off of green island w time in afternoon to spend on island by tender. Enjoyed the whole day and ability to do some sailing back. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks w wine and cheese , fruit and cake all added to a complete all inclusive day.

The sailboat was fun and a little bumpy with 20 knot winds, but the crew was amazing and offered sea sickness meds at the start of the journey. The reef was AMAZING!!! They offered wet suits and snorkeling gear as well as continental breakfast, lunch and snacks, tea, coffee and water throughout. We spent time snorkeling then went to Green Island for a couple hours. All in all great day and I highly recommend this vessel and her crew!

Just the best!

It’s been a long time since we went on this trip before writing this review, but it still rates as one of our life’s best experiences. We actually went in October 2022. We had the most fantastic weather, the staff were so friendly, the onboard food was great, and the GBR was defo a bucket list tick off. Shame we’re in the UK because we’d do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

We joined this tour last 17 June 2024 (Monday). It was a perfect getaway with the family. We enjoyed from start to finish.

The lovely crew made our journey worth remembering, they are all welcoming, approachable and will assist you always when needed. They were Mike the captain/skipper, Young Mike, Yaya and the most energetic "D" or "Di".

This tour is highly recommended if you are in Cairns!

The reef off green island was phenomenal! We saw greenies and lots of trevally. The team on board was great and they even accommodated for us Vegans! The sailing is a bit tough if you have a weak stomach, but the crew were understanding and incredibly sweet! This is a must do, but be aware that the snorkeling is in open water and so can be a bit rough, but absolutely worth it.

Yaya and team was fantastic! They limited the number of participants on board and somehow I was the only introductory diver 😅

I had an absolutely great time with the diving instructor Yaya who was really really patient and strived to give me the best diving experience! Talk about getting spoonfed, she helped me with every. single. thing. , and im pretty sure if she would help me breathe she could 😂 Can't recommend her enough as the diving instructor!

Also, the area that we went to was pretty windy and the tides were relentless... While snorkelling i could totally see Yaya standing by the boat exit point supervising and preparing to rescue me if I started drowning 😂 This totally helped encourage me to push myself because i know i will be saved if anything happens!

The crew is a small team of 3 people but they all tried to give us the best experience they could. Unfortunately I was super super seasick at that time and couldn't mingle with the rest...

Tldr: experience was really fun, and the crew was fantastic!!

We had a fantastic day out snorkelling, lunch and visiting Green Island. The crew were exceptional - fun, knowledgeable and kind. They were able to engage and assist both kids and seniors. We enjoyed the snorkelling and it was comforting to know the crew were watching out at all times and on hand to assist. The sail back without using the motor was brilliant.

Great crew, great food, great snorkeling, great day
Don't get on one of big boats to green island. They are just a bus.

Also give the crew a lunch break and hit the island at least for an hour.

Personal service great attitudes
