I went there in 1991 with my mum it make me tears as my mum passed away 2 months ago 😭

Fondly enjoy at Green Island 🏝️

[chrisgoff]

That coastline is unbelievably beautiful .

Just got back from a tour. Perfect conditions. Snokling is a must as your walking down the peir towards the island to the right. Not close to the beach but out abit further where the peir angles out.

[paulgibson]

Just been there, beautiful, we snorkled north beach of island, amazing

[robandalicruisetravel]

Thanks Chris. I hadn't actually realised there was so much to do on Green Island and have always passed over that as an option in the past. The snorkelling doesn't look too bad either with plenty of variety. Might take another look at Green Island now. Thanks for putting this together.

The tide can be a big factor. If you arrive and it's going out as there will be no sea for snorkelling for several hours anywhere near the beach.

Great video. Very helpful in my trip planning to Green Island.

[annastark]

I'm on the boat right now! Been wanting to go to Green Island since i first saw 'A town like Alice' as a teen. #bucketlist

[maryd]

Thank you for the video! I was there in 1984 but didnt get to it in 2015 or 2018 but I’ll definitely do it next trip!

[wondersinmotion]

It was nice sealing and diving with you! I'd love to see the great barrier with my own eyes!! 😍 Green Island looks so amazing

[theoffender]

I live in Cairns and Green Island is fantastic.. I usually call in for a swim after fishing out wide.. but make sure you see that massive croc.. I don’t know if he’s got much longer.. but he’s an amazing critter.. oh yer bring some lunch and a few beers if you want to save some $$$. Remember everything on the island is brought out by boat so expect to pay top $$$.. but its a one stop shop for everything FNQ

Hi there Chris, found your channel only a couple of days ago and the misso and I are amazed at the great videos. As a couple of Britz who are planning our Oz QLD road trip for next year 2023 July - Sept you are giving us so many amazing ideas to choose from and it’s great that we can see the weather as it is now. Defo giving Green Island a visit but you do send a shiver down our backs every time you mention crocs especially when you were paddle boarding the Cobbold Gorge and then calmly mention the crocs bathing! 😀. Keep up the good work and hi to the very cool laid back Matt 🤘🏻

Wow Chris it seems you had a great day for snorkeling. We hope to snorkel the great barrier reef one day.

The underwater footage you captured was amazing. I really liked seeing the turtle, it's markings were a little different compared to what we are used to seeing in the Caribbean.

[nategordon]

Super cool!!! What a wonderful excursion, and you certainly picked a ripper of a day. Good to see the reef was full of life. Sweet edit, and the thumbnail came out awesome. :P

[maheshvarma]

Nice video as always! Missing my cairns trip! It was awesome

[RichieAndVanessaTravel]

The water around Green Island looks so beautiful and clear! The island actually had a lot more than I thought it it would, I was imagining nothing in it! Lol 😂 Definitely some cute fish to see even a stingray! Was that sea cucumber caught in trash?
