Great Adventures offers a range of unforgettable experiences in the stunning Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Whether snorkeling, scuba diving, exploring the underwater observatory, or enjoying a semi-submarine tour, Great Adventures provides the perfect platform for both swimmers and non-swimmers to discover the wonders of the reef.
Green Island, a 6000-year-old coral cay, is a highlight of Great Adventures’ tours, where guests can witness the unique convergence of tropical rainforest and reef ecosystems. With multiple departures daily, visitors can choose from Full Day or Half Day Adventures, each offering a chance to explore the diverse flora and fauna of this pristine environment. The company’s commitment to providing a comprehensive reef and island experience is evident in their popular combo tour, which combines the best of both worlds in a single day of adventure and discovery.
With a rich history that includes pioneering achievements such as introducing the first glass bottom boat and opening the first stationary underwater observatory, Green Island holds a special place in the hearts of visitors and locals alike. Named after the astronomer Charles Green aboard the HMS Endeavour in 1770, Green Island is not only a natural wonder but also a cultural treasure, with its Aboriginal name “Wunyami” reflecting its significance to the Guru-Gulu Gungandji Aboriginal people. Great Adventures’ dedication to showcasing the wonders of Green Island and the Great Barrier Reef ensures that every guest leaves with a deeper appreciation for this extraordinary marine ecosystem.
