Green Island Resort

Wow! An amazing place with outstanding service from check-in to end of stay. This is a Jurassic Park experience and depending on what room you get, you’ll understand what we mean. Snorkeling is amazing, the staff are exceptional and well travelled. It’s a wonderful experience. Down side: bring mozzie spray. You’ll need it! Alcohol is a decent price and the food is… debatable… if you stay make sure you have some snacks from the mainland you’ll need them especially if you have kids. Two fantastic pools to swim in and the maintenance crew will make sure everything is ready for your stay. Remember if you go in to the restaurant for breakfast the door only swings one way! Lol! Giant angel fish, Turtles and Sharks oh my! Great place for a few days only. Thanks Green Island, we had a blast! 🙏😉🥰

From the moment we arrived at the Great Adventures ferry terminal, we knew we were in for something special. We had just transferred from Fitzroy Island, and the Green Island crew were already there waiting for us with everything perfectly organised, tickets ready, smiles on their faces and a seamless transition straight onto the ferry. It set the tone for the entire stay. Once we arrived on Green Island, we were greeted by some of the friendliest and most accommodating staff we’ve ever encountered. Every single team member went out of their way to make our stay perfect, whether it was helping us settle in, offering great local tips, or helping with any questions we had. The attention to detail and customer service at this resort is truly five-star. The island itself is absolutely stunning, and the resort makes it easy to relax and enjoy every moment. From beautiful beaches and crystal-clear water to great dining and comfortable accommodation, everything was top-notch. We had a wonderful time and can’t recommend Green Island Resort highly enough. If you’re looking for an unforgettable tropical getaway with incredible service and hospitality, this is the place to go!

Enjoyed a very relaxed 4 days on Green Island. While most of the island is a national park, it also boasts a comfortable resort with daily buffet breakfast and a restaurant for lunch & dinner, and other food outlets catering to day trippers. As it's a haven for birds as well as tourists it can be noisy at times and the staff are kept busy keeping the guest areas free of bird poop. Otherwise a perfect place for snorkelling and generally relaxing.

Absolutely brilliant resort with superb customer service. Super friendly and helpful staff coupled with an idyllic gorgeous location made for an unforgettable stay. We stayed 4 days / 3 nights and found that was a perfect duration. The only drawback was that the food options were a bit limited (at least for 4 days). In fairness…you’re on an island, so the options are within expectations. Highly recommended PS whilst all the staff were great, special thanks to Simone who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip.

We had a great stay on Green island. The deal we found was great value for money, activities were great and nature focused. Coral very close to the island was beautiful. Staff and the service was first class!

Great for a 2 night stay, ok for a 3 night stay. We stayed 4 nights- never again. It’s more geared to serving the hordes of day time visitors than the overnight guests.||The Good:|Great for novice snorkelers. |Safe and pristine small beaches.|Organised day activities such as snorkeling and paragliding off the island are great.|At night, it’s blissfully serene. No sound of cars, motorcycles, planes, trains, other people’s annoying music, or obnoxious loud people or drunks. Just the wind rustling through the rainforest canopy and an occasional bird sound.|Spacious rooms with outdoor decks and a decent pool just metres away.|Drinks at dusk by the pier is nice.|The Bad:|Isolation. Once you have walked the perimeter of the island, what else is there to do? Not much. No gym, no running track, no games room, no fauna or creatures of any note to see. The flightless birds there are many, but they are essentially rats with wings. The pigeons and other birds at dusk reside in the trees and make a racket but hardly memorable.|The resort food. I’ve had better meals at the local RSL.|Attention to detail, lack thereof. I put it down to the laconic Aussie philosophy on life that appears to reign supreme across Queensland generally - “she’ll be right mate.” The place is tired and needs a refresh, furniture, rooms, towels - generally the entire infrastructure.|Guest services are basic. The staff are friendly but untrained South American back packers earning a few dollars whilst travelling.|The Ugly:|The hordes of day time visitors and tourists that make you want to flee to your room and hide until the last returning ship leaves for cairns.

With memories of our elopement here 10 years ago, we returned to Green Island and were treated to a wonderful 36 hour stay. The boat transfers are well timed so you can come early and depart late to enjoy as much as possible. It’s so easy to find everything, activities with eco-focus (on land and in the water) are well organised, and the food and beverage outlets cater very well for all the island’s customers. We walked around the island on the boardwalk with icecreams and had a swim in the lovely clear warm water. We booked a dinner picnic hamper and it was yummy and more than enough for two. |The island remains as beautiful as ever, and the staff enhanced our enjoyment of it by providing genuine, relaxed hospitality and warm service. As we were leaving, we spied four manta rays beneath the island’s jetty and a turtle bobbed its head up to farewell us. So special!

I had an unexpected medical emergency while leaving Green Island: I collapsed on the boat during departure and briefly lost consciousness. In that moment, David and Till from the Green Island first aid team took care of me with absolute professionalism and genuine kindness. They helped me regain consciousness, stayed close to me the whole time, explained what was happening, and made sure I felt safe and supported. Their calm, competence and human warmth turned a very scary situation into something I could handle and process with peace of mind. In my personal experience, I have lived in Italy, New York and Copenhagen, and I can honestly say that the level of care, empathy and professionalism I received from David, Teel and the Green Island staff is truly exceptional. They are a credit to this island and to their profession. I already loved Green Island for its natural beauty, but now I can say that the people who live and work here are just as wonderful as the place itself. I strongly recommend visiting Green Island, not only to enjoy its stunning environment, but also for the outstanding customer service and care you will find here.

The visit to Green Island was a first stop on a tour excursion. Green Island is a small yet beautiful slice of paradise and well worth the trip. The Island offers hotel accommodations, shops, eateries, a museum to see crocodile, some local wildlife, parasailing, a nature trail, snorkeling and pristine beaches. Only one section of the beach, to the left of the entrance, has a Life Saver. It took about 30 minutes to reach the Island for our 2.5 hr visit. I decided to take a walk around half of the Island with a few others before enjoying the beach. The walk included quickly perusing some of the shops. Unfortunately, the oldest living crocodile, Cassius, had just passed away recently so we didn't get to see him. After passing through the shops and following the path (that's about cuts the island half) we ended up on a rocky beach. We continued the walk along the rocky beach until coming back around to a path that lead to the entrance. We settled on the beach area to the right of the entrance, without a Life Saver. The water was calm, beautiful and clear. It is fairly shallow, less than waist height, for a good distance. There were many fish swimming in this area if you don't want to go out to far for snorkeling. Of course, this close to shore you won't be able to see any reefs and you must go further out. Overall, a great place to spend time regardless if it is for few hour, the day or even a few days. I definitely recommend checking out Green Island.

A must visit place! What a lovely island! Bars, restaurants, diving, snorkeling, sea walking tours, beaches, pool, crocodiles park and it's on the Great Barrier Reef!
