The Diving
Transfer to Green Island Resort in our comfortable tender, where you can walk through lush vegetation (only 1/5 of the island is a resort), sunbathe on the white sand, meet a crocodile or turtle at Marineland Melanesia or wade through the clear blue water.
Ocean Free motors out to Green Island under sail on a daily basis from Cairns, and anchors up at Pinnacle Reef, around a kilometer out from Green Island for up to 4 ½ hours. We serve a delicious luncheon of cold meats, chicken, garden fresh salads, bread rolls. After lunch the friendly crew will conduct snorkeling and dive briefings as well as hand out equipment before beginning guided snorkel tours and diving for the more adventurous. Ocean Free’s crew will even allow for 1:1 instruction for the nervous first time Introductory Diver! Ocean Free’s comfortable tender craft will transfer guests to beautiful Green Island and Resort for one, two or up to three hours you will have free time to laze on powder white sandy beaches, wander along timber boardwalks through Green Island’s emerald green rainforest or perhaps enjoy a swim in the Green Island Resort’s large salt water swimming pool. The best thing about a day out on Ocean Free, is that we offer you a myriad of choices and activities to help you enjoy both Great Barrier Reef and a Coral Cay in the one fantastic day!
On the way home Ocean Free will come back into Cairns under the majesty of sail, the boat’s crew will entertain you as well as begin the serving of refreshments, including, Tropical Fruit Platters, Cheese and Biscuits as well as Freshly Baked Cake and Glass of Wine, which all help to complete a most magical day on The Great Barrier Reef.
Remember, we are the only Reef and island trip catering exclusively for small numbers - why share the experience with a multitude of passengers when you can be pampered and looked after by our friendly and professional crew willing to offer personal service and special assistance when needed.
