Green Island Seawalker & Snorkel Or Glass Bottom Boat From Cairns

Ferry was efficient and runs to time All team members were wonderful and extremely helpful. Sealife was the highlight however the island is a bit grubby

We booked this event for three and unfortunately my self and my wife were not allowed to participate because of our Diabetic condition. We were disappointed to know this at the last minute. I wish Viator would list Diabetes as one of the health conditions that will prevent people from participating in this adventure. My daughter was allowed to go and she had real fun. She loved the experience. I was happy the way the way our request for refund was handled. I received my refund immediately after my request. I would advise you to check with the tour operator, if you have any health condition, before booking so that you are not disappointed.

I love every minute of this excursion. The whole team is very organized and detailed cares for each of us. Beautiful Green island.

My Neice had an absolutely wonderful experience. Sadly due to pre-existing medical conditions, 2 of us were unable to participate.

Excellent experience. This really is an ALL DAY activity. If you don't catch the 8:30 boat to the island, you'll most likely regret it. The Seawaker experience is unique and my claustrophobic wife who freaks out at everything thoroughly loved it. Follow the instructions of the guides and everything will go fine. Safety is their utmost goal with you having an excellent experience a close second. Lycra suites and beach shoes come with the experience. After this you can snorkel (keep the suit on and grab a mask, snorkel and flippers). Again, those are part of your experience. They video and take pictures of you when you do the Seawalker experience. Ours was nicely done and, even though it's rather pricey, we opted for the USB stick of everything. Snorkeling was a gas. We're 66 and 68 respectively. They gave us life vests to help us float and we spent over an hour watching the various fish, coral, baby crocodiles about six inches long, turtles, and plants. After that we washed off, had lunch at one of their venues, then jumped in their fresh water pool and later sat on lounge chairs around the pool. They have places on the beach too to sit under an umbrella. They have a restaurant too but we chose the little burger place instead. We both finished the day at the pier in Cairns where we ate at Dundees (yeah, named after the man himself). You can get kangaroo (excellent by the way, better than fillet minion - and that's my wife talking who is squemish sbout everything she eats). You can get it as "Hop Rock" or the next thing down on the menu - "Crocodile Rock". Rock means they serve it on a piece of volcanic rock and you cook it yourself. Not for kids. Overall, this is an experience of a lifetime.

Was a great experience very professional definitely recommend I would definitely go again next time we visit Cairns

It was interesting and t he guys worked extra hard to make sure everyone felt safe. I was disappointed that we only stayed below the float. Very limited coral and small fish. But it was an experience I'm glad I had. Would I do it again, no, but I was not able at my age, 82, to feel comfortable snorkeling anymore. So I can say I saw the great barrier reef first hand. The glass bottom boat was great, in my opinion the high light of the tour.being at the great barrier reef

This was an outstanding experience! The coral reef, the fish, and all the other creatures of the reef were amazingly clear. This is a tremendous way to see the reef, even better than snorkeling. The staff were wonderful and we highly recommend this activity.

We booked this through Viator and, without a doubt, this was THE worst experience with Viator, ever!! When I initially booked it, I requested information about whether there would be a problem with my completing this activity, because of my medications. I received no response from the vendor, Quick Silver in Cairns Australia. Trying to find the location of the vendor was a challenge because the name Quicksilver did not appear in any of the Marquee displays, at their headquarters. Instead, it was Silver Swift. It was not until we were on the boat to Green Island that we found out that I would not be allowed to participate in the seabed walk because of a medication I am taking. If we had known this ahead of time, we would have opted for a different tour. Shame on you, Viator, for not protecting your clients. The tour itself was 20 minutes walking in circles beneath the boat. We have been purchasing Viator tours for over a decade. After much effort we received a refund for a portion of the tour.

This is THE most duplicitous Viator tour ever! In March I contacted the vendor to determine if any of the medications I take would prevent me from participating. They sent me a form which I completed and returned, but heard nothing. No news is good news? Au contraire! The day of the tour we arrived at Quicksilver on Spence St (that was a complete mess -- no where did it say Quicksilver in the entire facility -- you had to intuit it was there!) Received our tickets then sat outside (on a low wall) for 45 minutes. On the boat we were given the same form I had previously filled out, only to be told that I was ineligible because of one medication. My husband was eligible, but if we had known ahead of time, we would have done something else. No transparency. The actual seabed walk was a joke. 15-20 minutes of walking in a circle under the boat. This is an absolute scam. To add insult to injury, getting Viator to provide a refund for half of the expense is excruciatingly difficult. We have used Viator for about 10 years, but that may be coming to a close soon!

Very easy to do to with such an experienced crew. The large clam was gorgeous. Knowledgable staff to answer all questions on what you saw.

We did the underwater Seawalker and glass bottom boat tour. From beginning to end, everything about the tour and the experiences was very well organized from check in/collecting tickets to arriving at the island and knowing what activities/options are available at what times. We didn’t feel rushed during or in between experiences despite picking 10:30 am departure to island and 2:30 pm departure from the island. It felt like a perfect amount of time for the booked experiences and to walk around the island a bit

This was a great trip, something I had wanted to do for a while. As an older solo traveller (60yo), I wasn't comfortable snorkelling on my own so this was a great option. I was suprised at the weight that I needed to carry and I was pushed around at times by the current, but the crew were wonderful and great support with me being a little nervous. A great experience but I think you see more when snorkelling freely. The glass bottom boat was also enjoyable and lots of fish to see and I was lucky enough to see 3 turtles on the day.

I was very nervous and apprehensive about doing the sea walk with helmet, staff were FANTASTIC!! Very reassuring, I felt 1000% safe in their hands. The experience itself is something I'll never forget!! Absolutely beautiful experience, I'd do it again and again!! Can't recommend this high enough!!!

We initially booked this tour for a party of 5, however only 3 of us were able to participate. One due to a sinus infection and the other due to certain prescription medication usage. This was disappointing to us, as had we been made aware of any medication restrictions we may not have booked the tour at all. I recommend that any medication restrictions be clearly advertised in advance. For those of us who did participate in the sea walk, we found it ok, a little murky in the water, but mostly because we were so bummed other members of our party couldn't join. The concept is a cool one. Really put a damper on things.

The experience itself was wonderful. The instructions were clear and concise and they took great care to make sure everything was ok. The actual walk was amazing. Not alot to do on Green Island but worth it to do the helmet dive.

Fantastic experience! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Medical clearance is required to participate. Before booking this experience, I would suggest contacting the tour operator to make sure you will be ok’d by the tour operators to participate.

A must do it was fantastic lots of fish to see and you get a chance to see fish in the coral staff are friendly and their knowledge is excellent

This is great adventure. I really enjoyed it. Although the area is kind of small and time is very short. Staffs are great.

It was canceled due to weather!! Didn’t bother to tell us until we took the boat trip to the Island…

Can’t tell you. Rough waters. Tour was cancelled AFTER we got to Green Island. Saw the crocs and walked around in hot humidity for 4 hours. The staff there were very nice

Spent entire day on Green Island. Did the sea walker helmet experience and it was amazing. They take pics and video that you can pay for after. Totally worth it. Snorkeled the rest of the day but there's so many amazing things to do

Our experience was truly unforgettable, particularly thanks to the caring and attentive crew who guided us every step of the way. Since my husband and I can't swim, the seawalker adventure allowed us to explore the stunning coral reef without any worry. I highly recommend this experience for non-swimmers looking to enjoy the underwater beauty!

Out of 1hr duration of experience promised they only give you hardly less than 5 min at sea level, and that too so they make you pose for pics and videos. This is so they trap you into exorbitantly priced pictures and videos you are bullied to buy ( they don’t let you take your personal GoPro….in the name of “safety”). You don’t even get few moments to enjoy yourself and are not allowed to soak in nature under/in sea. I did snorkel on the same shores after this stupid choice, and I must say it was multi million time rewarding…. Donate your money then waste your time on this crap. Great idea but pathetic execution, they want to rip you when they should focus on execution and giving you fulfilling experience….the manager on site is a retired minded person and should be replaced to bring life into it!

I booked this because I have very bad eyesight and am depending on glasses, so scuba-diving was out of the question and snorkeling may have been dissatisfying. Granted, with this you did have a good view and you do get to see some creatures, but that's like 5 minutes of the very limited time you get. The other 15 minutes you are caught in a modelling job, posing for phoney fotos and videos which they later have the cheek to try to sell you for $100(!). I spontaneously decided to rather keep my money and invest that sum into beer somewhen later. Besides, I had the impression all we actually did see was a commercially organized underwater zoo. Not worth the money in my opinion. The whole of Green Island seems to be a tourist trap: Get imprisoned on its 500 m², take a seawalk and a 30 minute glassbottom boat tour, walk the whole accessible area of the island in 30 minutes, find yourself bored... So either spend more bucks for additional activities, risk marine stingers bathing in the sun or get bitten to death by mosquitos in the shade... Use a 5 m² swimming pool instead? Get drunk at the cheesy bar? Or write an honest TripAdvisor review to pass the time till return... My sentiments: "Great Adventures" are something else entirely...

Was excellent, well looked after from the crew. Seen lots of fish big and small around the coral. Could not use my under water camera ,had to buy the professional photos. We did not mind this $80 each, this gives all photos and video on USB. Highly recommend.

Although we did see marine life and enjoyed this turned out to be a photo taking session under water just to sell you pics. I am opposed to feeding the marine life for tourist financial gain. I’d reconsider, it’s not even about the $. The staff was very professional and friendly.

One of the best experiences we have ever had. Totally enjoyed walking on the ocean floor with fish above us. Entire your was well organized and staff were friendly, helpful and nice to be with. I would highly recommend this to everyone.

This was a very cool experience. The staff were very helpful, friendly and professional. They took your photo under water too. My only complaint (and this is just nature) is that it was hard to see things under water. Like there was a turtle 3-4 feet away from me that the guide pointed out but I couldn’t see it - it just wasn’t very clear down there (about 25 feet down). Again, this is not anyone’s fault, but something I wish I knew beforehand so I could adjust my expectations.

Found out on the boat over to green island that due to medication we were unable to do seawalk. Medical check should be done prior to the trip. We were disappointed and it ruined our day

Outstanding experience with this tour group. They took great care of me and I was their only customer! Five people provided my service which is a lot for one person. I had a wonderful time and it was easy which was great for someone who does not snorkel or scuba. I had a great adventure on the Reef!

Outstanding! I was the only person who booked Seawalkers that day and they never hesitated to give me the tour. Five people including 2 divers and the underwater photographer suited up and made my adventure happen. I had a great time and loved the chance to experience the reef and being underwater. This was perfect for someone who does not snorkel or scuba. Everyone at Great Adventures made me feel welcome & appreciated and cared that I had a great experience. I highly recommend Seawalkers Experience.

This was an amazing way to see the special fish and corals of the reef. Felt almost like a 'moon walk', but with much more colourful surroundings. The diving helmet takes a little getting used to, but the staff were incredibly helpful. They explained every step of the sea walk. I felt safe and enjoyed every moment. A once in a lifetime experience!

They canceled on us on the morning of the trip. Now I have to see about getting a refund. Would not recommend at all. Very disappointing.

The sea walker event cancelled at the last minute due to weather condition. They should have notified us well before 24 hours but we were told only at the check in. We had no choice but just continue with just boat trip Green island.

There was absolutely no indication at the time of booking that there would be a problem if I had Asthma. I looked so forward to this and at the eleventh hour was told that I could not participate. I did get a partial refund for the service but was bitterly disappointed that I could not do the dive

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!!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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 many fish and corals and Seawalker Helmet Dive to experience the feeling in the deep water

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

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.

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!
