[ Pinnacle Reef & Green Island ]

-
Without any doubt the most exclusive, personal, customer-oriented Great Barrier Reef tour in Cairns.
Green Island is a truly tropical haven situated 26 km from Cairns on The Great Barrier Reef.
Ocean Free sails you to Pinnacle Reef, an exclusive reef site located in the highly protected Marine Park zone just off Green Island offering excellent coral coverage and vibrant marine life. Its protected waters are the perfect location to discover the reef snorkelling or scuba diving.
The“bommies” ( coral outcrops ) and coral gardens, from just 1 metre under the surface, are teaming with life and make viewing easy. The trips to Green Island are by tender. Spend 4 1⁄2 hrs between the reef and the island.
Experience the best of both worlds – the spectacular marine life on your private Great Barrier Reef site and then get taken straight to Green Island beach where you can explore the tropical island or just relax in the cool, crystal clear, shallow waters - and all this with just a maximum of 25 guests.
Snorkelling tuition and use of top quality snorkelling gear including buoyancy vests, wetsuits and lycra suits.
