Green Island Cairns and White water rafting are two fun things while visiting Cairns.

Travel to Green Island in the morning, return at approximately 1 pm and then be picked up at around 2 pm to have an afternoon of fun on the Barron River.

Visitors can do this package in one day or two days.

Green Island Cairns

Green Island Cairns has all the top tropical island features.  Sparkling blue water, white sandy beaches and palm trees.

This idyllic coral cay is only 15 nautical miles offshore from Cairns.

Green Island is ideal for swimmers and non-swimmers. Either snorkel or experience the glass bottom boat ride, or you can do both.

White water Rafting

The Barron River half-day tour is an excellent way to start white water rafting. It’s exciting, fun, and exhilarating for the entire family. Allow the guides to entertain you as you cruise along this magnificent river.
