What Islands can I visit from Cairns?

Green Island - Fitzroy Island - Frankland Islands

How do I choose the best Island Experience for me?

Short on time or want comfort?

→ Green Island

Love hiking, beaches & nature?

→ Fitzroy Island

Want pristine reef & Eco-focused day tour?

→ Frankland Islands

Is it a full day tour to the islands or can I visit the Islands for a Half Day (or a couple of hours)?

Popular islands like Green Island and Fitzroy Island offer multiple daily ferry departures, allowing you to visit for a full day or just a few hours. This flexibility makes island visits perfect whether you want a relaxed day or a shorter experience to fit around other plans.

What is there to do at the islands?

Green Island & Fitzroy Islands - Enjoy a mix of snorkelling, glass-bottom boat tours, and rainforest walks, with optional upgrades such as scuba diving, guided snorkel tours, and kayaking.

Frankland Islands - The Frankland Islands offer an all-inclusive experience, featuring a guided snorkel tour, guided island walk, semi-submersible boat tour, and kayaks to explore at your leisure.

Do the island tours recommended by Reef Info include snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef?

Green Island, Fitzroy Island, and the Frankland Islands offer excellent snorkelling opportunities directly off the island or nearby reef. Typically, snorkel equipment can be included and there are guided snorkel tours to upgrade to for the more experienced swimmer.

Does Reef Info offer last-minute or same-day island tour bookings from Cairns?

YES, subject to availability and departure time from Cairns Marlin Marina. There are later departure times for both Green Island and Fitzroy Island and we will run you through the available options.
