Description

Board a classic sailboat with its attentive, caring crew and head out on a Great Barrier Reef and visit Green Island sailing day tour. Meet the crew, grab a complimentary coffee or tea, a piece of fresh fruit and tasty Danish pastry, find your favourite place on this classical schooner and settle in for your journey to the Great Barrier Reef! Take the helm, assist with hoisting the sails or just relax and watch, feeling the salty breeze in your hair as you glide over the waters to an amazing coral garden, located in a Green zone area of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Once the skipper moors at this unique location (the only operator to have a permit on the reef in this location!) and after a snorkel briefing the 'pool' is declared 'open' . Jump in and start to explore! Become acquainted with all the colourful reef fish and coral in this exclusive site where only our guests will snorkel and dive. If unsure of your first snorkel , enjoy small, personalized crew assisted snorkeling tours throughout the day. See corals, schools of colorful reef fish, stingrays, turtles, and black-tipped reef sharks, which are very shy and perfectly safe. Enjoy a personalized first dive with just 2 divers per instructor. No previous experience is required for this bookable option. If you are a certified diver, expect a small group with a dive guide. This tour is great for conservative 10-12 M diving - great depth to see all the colours of the Great Barrier Reef! No deep or drift dives available here. All divers will need to fill out a dive medical on day of travel to ensure no contraindications to safe diving. After a morning of snorkelling and diving at this exclusive site, enjoy a large smorgasbord lunch to suit all tastes back on board the boat. Feast on fresh Tasmanian salmon, prawns, mixed meats, chicken, and three different salads. With your tummies full, jump into the tender and enjoy a short ride straight to a beautiful tropical beach. Enjoy up to 2 hours on Green Island - walk, relax on the beach or enjoy optional island activities. Sip a cocktail at the island’s resort, walk across the island, visit Marine Land Melanesia where you can see crocodiles in captivity - any island activities are paid direct to island and ensure you are back on the beach for last transfer back to the main vessel! If wanting to snorkel again in the afternoon, ensure you are back on the first island pick up back to the boat. After 4.5 hours of reef and island - settle in for an authentic sail home! On the return journey the engines will be switched off (wind prevailing!) - relax and enjoy fresh fruit, cheese, and crackers, a glass of wine, and finally, a piece of cake - all served with a smile by the friendly crew whilst you relax and take in the sounds of the wind and the waves , reminiscing about your magical day on the Great Barrier Reef as you head back to Cairns !
