Traversée agréable avec un bateau qui ne bougeait quasiment pas (ce que mon mari et ma fille redoutaient car ils sont malades en bateau). La journée sur l'île a été extraordinaire, les fonds marin de toute beauté et tout de suite à portée, même des plus petits. Il y a toutes les commodités sur l’île. Nous avons préféré la plage surveillée où il y avait plus de poissons, et même des tortues. Au retour, nous avons eu la chance de voir des baleines, fantastique ! Équipage aux petits soins, nous recommandons !
Book me is awesome. Big cat a professional experience and easy trip out to the island
I would never go again! Biggest regret was the tide went out within an hour of being there so nowhere to snorkel or even cool off with a swim.( so glad I didn’t pay for any extras!!) The ferry was packed with 99% asians spewing into bags, the staff were all giving announcements in what I guess was Chinese, the ferry aircon was so cold I had to stand outside in the wind to warm up,the $2 coffee was lukewarm warm and when I asked for a hot replacement was told abruptly “we have no control over temperature “, the island was crowded, chaotic ,expensive ,dirty and smelly , I went on three boats/ ferry over the week I was there and the other two were brilliant and would go again ( Fitzroy flyer and Seastar) on a more positive note I did get to see a turtle from the back of the boat just on departure and the feeding of trevally by the marine biologist, who spoke English which was appreciated!!
We had a smooth trip with smiling attentive crew to a magical place! Green Island offers day trippers so much! Food, swimming pool, and a patrolled sandy beach as well as a variety of snorkeling experiences. Not to mention the beautiful turtles ❤️
