Tour Description
Experience a sail , Green Island and the Great Barrier Reef all in the one day . “Ocean Free” is the only personal Green Island + GBR tour with a maximum of 25 guests . This 16M sailing schooner moors on a private reef just 1 Km off Green Island so guests can snorkel just off the boat onto “Pinnacle Reef” where the “bommies” (coral outcrops ) come to just 1M under the surface for great viewing of this stunning coral garden. This area is also highly protected so fish life abundant. All snorkeling gear including wetsuits/lycra suits , snorkel jackets , are provided free of charge . The helpful crew will also teach you how to snorkel and even take you in the water on a personal snorkel tour if extra in-water assistance is needed. Snorkel and dive (optional extra) at any time during the day just off the boat . Only our guests snorkel and dive this site for extra privacy !
Enjoy a full smorgasbord lunch (including seafood) on board the boat and then go and explore the stunning Green Island . Transfers to the island are in their tender and the crew will land you directly on the beach of the island . Relax or explore the tropical beach – the time spent between the reef and the island is flexible to meet with your individual needs
