I had a great time....but my hubby did not. He was very seasick I read the prior reviews and knew the 50 min boat ride to the island could be rough. I took a motion sickness pill. I was fine. A lot of people got sick on the way out...at least 30...the staff was busy with barf bags.
They do provide ginger pills....
I enjoyed the glass bottom boat tour and I brought my own snorkel gear. There were no jellyfish when we went mid April. I did not wear a stinger suit only a rash guard. Also water was very calm at the beach. Staff was very helpful.

Snorkelling but… the coral was below average. The cost to hire an umbrella was over the top.
Will be recommending other locations to view the reef.

This was fantastic! We booked the day before and it was half the price of most other snorkelling trips. The boat was smooth and staff really friendly. We were put off by some reviews saying that there’s not much to do on the island so opted for the shorter (3 hour) duration and I really wish we had stayed longer as it was so pretty! And plenty of shade etc., very easy to spend a full day there. 4 stars as we weren’t sure exactly where we should go for the snorkelling, you’re left to your own devices and whilst we saw plenty of fish I feel we would have seen a bigger range of wildlife if we knew where exactly to look.

Boat ride was about 40min to and fro green island per way.
Free and easy time in green island. I did snorkeling and it was fun.

We chose Glass Bottom Boat. The reef and fish viewing were great. 5 hours on the island were more than sufficient. Enjoyed our trip.

People were absolutely not respectful of the reef and the fauna living there. Saw many people stepping on the ground and disturbing the already imbalanced nature. Should’ve never booked this trip and support this continuous destruction. The staff on the boat, however, was very kind.

We had a smooth ride to Green Island on the fast catamaran. We saw schools of fish off the beach area and a few 8 inch size what looked like angel fish. For more advanced snorkelers you need to go the the boat pier beach area and you will see much more like rays and perhaps turtles. If you don't want to spend big bucks on food you should definitely bring snacks.

The guide on the glass bottom boat was knowledgeable and made sincere efforts to show us as much life among the corals as she could; and the crew on the main ferry from Cairns to Green Island.

Ride out and back was fine. Glass bottom boat tour and snorkeling from the shore were great. Food was poor and overpriced. Birds were aggressive. We came in in a cruise ship and reached out twice for help with directions - never received a response.
