Green Island Resort, a boutique eco resort is located on the Great Barrier Reef at Green Island – known as Wunyami the sea country of the Gungganji and Yidinji people. Just 45 minutes (or 27 km) from Cairns’ mainland by fast catamaran, the resort is 4.5 star self-rated with just 46 beautifully appointed rooms nestled amid rainforest and secluded from day visitor facilities.
The resort offers a unique blend of first class accommodation and unparalleled access to the magnificent Great Barrier Reef, lush rainforest, and a spectacular array of bird and marine life.
Your Green Island experience can be as active and adventurous or as relaxed as desired. By day enjoy an abundance of inclusive and optional island activities including snorkelling and diving the Great Barrier Reef. After the day visitors leave, the island is very intimate with only house guests, offering the serenity and romance of a tropical island in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef.
Behind the scenes, Green Island Resort's sustainability initiatives are significant, passionately balancing the needs of guests and the protection of our World Heritage environment - from the original construction that set ecotourism accommodation standards, through to installation of renewable and new generation power technologies and some of the most innovative waste management practices in Australia. Green Island Resort is accredited with Advanced Ecotourism and Climate Action certification and is nationally recognised as a sustainability leader.
