After 4 p.m. when the island starts to recover from the total tourist invasion, the place calms down and starts finally to show its beauty in a serenity. Great activities as star gazing, fish feeding.

Guided snorkelling around the island would be appreciated. Glass bottom boat trip was disappointing. Would be nice to be able to feed the fish and take some photos. Didn't see any turtle or coral around the island and hardly any fish as well.

From 9 a.m. untill 4 p.m. the green island is under attack of tourist groups from Cairns. A day trip or stop over. Hords and crowds everywhere. Busy beach. Noise. No place to hide. Some local employees very unfriendly and rude. As a consequence I did not feel welcomed here.

“Fun, relaxing little get away. ”

There were a lot of day trippers but there were heaps of spots to have peace and quiet if needed.
Green island resort was amazing!!! We loved every minute of it. There was so much to do. The activities provided meant we had a mix of just chilling to being active. I loved the snorkelling and the fact that you could keep your snorkelling gear in your room the whole stay and snorkel whenever it pleased you. The sun lounges and umbrellas provided on the beach were a luxurious touch. We loved windsurfing, canoeing, adventuring in the glass bottom boat. The night walks were very informative and fun. Fish feeding and sunset drinks while we watched the sunset was a highlight as we pretty much had the island to ourselves. The buffet breakfast was incredible with a great variety of food. A memorable moment was enjoying our dinner hamper on the beach on our picnic rug watching the sunset. Delicious food and generous servings. We only stayed 3 nights but felt like we were there for weeks. A most enjoyable stay, I’ll be back!!!!

The main 'Emerald' restaurant serves good food and is ambitious, but due to the latter fails to deliver: we waited 1h 20 min between staters and the main course (a local reef snapper). In the end the main course was delivered to the room. And the price did not match the quality. Second 'issue' is the reef around the island. It really suffers from the mass tourism and given the 3m difference between high-low tides, literally hundreds of people walk their way through the water to places where you can swim...every day. Not good. You have to take a boat to the outer reef to enjoy the marine life, otherwise the Island trip might become a very expensive memory with little to remember (except for the shark...).
Just look at the pictures and you will see what you get. Very nice place - above the water. True that during the day the place gets a lot of day visitors (300.000/Y and I guess about 1200 on a busy August day) but somehow the people seems to dissolve rather well due to many activities and different arrival/departure schedules. I have seen much more busy beaches in Europe...But, the tourism does take a toll on the island (see other section). Very friendly housekeeping staff and overall nice experience. And for those who like sharks: we did have a black-tip reef shark encounter up-and-close (very close) during a late afternoon swim, after day-visitors left the island. The whole recipe is there: upcoming tide, murky water, nobody else swimming, sun starts to go down,...that is the time when they cone in, in search for unhealthy, damaged, sick, old fish. A bit of a shocker if you do not expect a shark to show up, in front of your face, but we were told they do behave and do not bother swimmers. It did not...

The accomodation is not cheap, but it is totally worth every penny.
Phenomenal location on a unique island on the reef. When the crowds leave at 4:30 pm the tranquility of being on “your” island free to explore it at will, alone or with thoughtful walks and activities is amazing.

“Enjoyable when there are no day-visitors.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
Overcrowded during the day with day visitors. The food served in the day-guest area was terrible and expensive. The smell in the wooded area where the birds come to roost was unpleasant. Very limited wine list.
We loved the peaceful evenings after the day-visitors had departed from the island, seeing the sunset, the sea turtles, and the night sky.
