Take a super-fast catamaran from Cairns to the island and choose between the use of snorkeling gear or a glass-bottom boat ride (included). Add more fun to the day by donning a glass helmet and taking a guided walk on the seabed, surrounded by coral and tropical fish while keeping your head dry.

This was the best!! I’m a country girl who doesn’t know how to swim. From being on the boat to literally going down under and seeing the reef and feeling the fish, the crew’s welcoming and positive energy made me feel so safe and comfortable the entire time. Their abundant knowledge and expertise helped too!! I 100% recommend this activity!!

Cant Swim, Yet Felt Very Safe & Comfortable

Tumaro_S, Apr 2024

Lovely

AnnMarie_B, Apr 2024

Guides were brilliant. Nice experience especially if you’re a non-swimmer and want to the reefs. Would highly recommend.

Dream come true

Jill_F, Mar 2024

Sea Walker Helmet tour was excellent. So we'll looked after by divers. Saw amazing fish and coral. Glass bottom boat was spectacular. Today I definitely lived the dream Thank you.

Viator Come Up Short Again

Gil_S, Mar 2024

Nothing was memorable. We were not allowed to do the one activity we wanted to do, because we were excluded for medical reasons. No where did we read that we would be excluded because of medical reasons. While we appreciate the safety concerns, had we been informed sooner, we would have made other arrangements for the day.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Once in a lifetime experience!

Ketul_P, Mar 2024

Craig, at the dive shop and his entire 5 person crew did an awesome job. This dive was one of the best and memorable experiences for us. The photographer who also dived with us took some exceptional photos and videos of our Great Barrier Reef diving! Highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We are delighted to hear that your dive with us was one of the best and most memorable experiences. It's fantastic to know that our photographer captured exceptional photos and videos of your Great Barrier Reef diving adventure.

Must do for a quick day at the reef

Albert_M, Mar 2024

The seawalker experience was amazing. For those not great swimmers or divers you are guided by friendly staff to see fish, clam shell and anything else in the area. Green Island is a gem. Loved it. The rainforest walk is nice and snorkelling was great seeing sea turtles eating sea grass and many other fish and coral.

Highly recommend

Deborah_R, Mar 2024

It was a wonderful experience of a lifetime! They took good care of us at all times. We were never alone and very safe.

The best day!

braveandblended, Feb 2024

Great Adventure Green Island tour with Seawalker is the best!! We did para sailing, swimming with the turtles and snorkeling! Highly recommend

BK Bottom of the ocean

Bassam_K, Jan 2024

This an awesome experience. The staff were professional and informative. They were very supportive and communicate well with the guests to make it safe and enjoyable down and at the bottom of the ocean. We were very impressed.

Glass bottom boat to see...

Thai_N, Jan 2024

Glass bottom boat to see many fish and corals and Seawalker Helmet Dive to experience the feeling in the deep water

Excellent experience

Cornelius_R, Jan 2024

My wife is a none swimmer. This was a great experience for someone who may have a desire to snorkel but can’t.

Seawalker-glass bottom boat

Christylee_M, Jan 2024

What an amazing experience, walking under the sea! Staff were helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend this to everyone who wants something really memorable to do.

Best way for a closeup to see the reefs!

Nimish_D, Dec 2023

Fantastic way to see the reefs and amazing exotic fish. Very professional staff. Made us all feel safe. Great for non swimmers and people afraid of water. We had a couple in our group!

Chrissy_D, Dec 2023

Our family of four really enjoyed our amazing sea walk, snorkeling and glass boat tour experience and would recommend it to all families with teens! Let’s go Canada😀

How not to get your hair wet@

Gary_L, Dec 2023

We were quite anxious before we started. but had a clear instruction vid and a helpful lad who went down with us. Once the helmet is lowered on and hold the nostrils to equalised the pressure on the ears. you climb down the ladder to the sea bed and all the time with the scuba lad with you . And then we all held on to a rod thing , pics and vids taken of course. loads of fish swam around us. But they are fed from a squeezey thing and so they are completely lazy and getting a free nosh ! hilarious! Worth doing. you get a stck of the experience, 160 dollars, not too bad for us Brits, bt it is a one off, unless you are a scuba fanatic.

Loved snorkeling and the Seawalker

Jiyu_L, Dec 2023

Seawalker experience was amazing! I also experienced some of the best snorkeling ever. I saw sea cucumbers, sea turtles, and all sorts of fish and coral. However Green Island itself is quite boring. The food options aren’t great and there are birds everywhere that try to steal your food. Not much to do besides snorkeling.

Great Day on Green Island

Renuka_M, Dec 2023

It was a great experience to walk on the guided ocean floor with experienced, safely conscious dive team. We saw many colorful fishes, anemones and even Nemo! Snorkeling was also good and my husband even saw jellyfish with stinger! Fortunately, the dive shop provided wet suits. Great day at Green Island all together!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for taking the time to share you fantastic experience at Green Island. It's always a joy to explore the underwater world and discover the vibrant marine life, including the colorful fishes, anemones, and the excitement of finding Nemo!

Perfect Day

Clelia_P, Nov 2023

The staff was extremely friendly, nice and helpful. I was extremely lucky since I went during "low season" (end of November); it was just two of us for the seawalker and we could fully enjoy our time underwater. Moreover the weather and water clarity were perfect. The photographs and video they took were beautiful. The prices changed from what I read before: 30 dollars for a printed one or 100 dollars for all the material including photos, video and photos of the reef. It might seem a lot but I think its totally worth it. I also added last minute, directly at the shop, the Snorkeling tour experience, which I suggest immensely expecially if the weather is nice. It allows to explore freely for 45 min the reef near Green Island in a zone that would be impossible to reach by swimming from the coast (or too long and dangerous). Overall, highly recommended expecially in low-season.

Experience of a lifetime!

Konpal_S, Nov 2023

Sea walker experience was blissful! Great care taken to ensure the best outcome! The reef looks beautiful!
