Details
Cruise the Great Barrier Reef aboard the Big Cat and spend a full day exploring Green Island—a coral cay located just off the shore of Cairns. Once on the island, participate in a number of activities including a semi-submarine and glass-bottom boat ride, snorkeling, swimming, and feasting on a tasty Australian buffet lunch. Just before departing the island, the crew will toss fish food overboard and you'll see hungry giant trevally, rainbow-colored parrot fish, bat fish, and yellow-tailed fusilier gather below. Lather on that sunscreen—you're in for a full day in the sun!
