This 10-hour combo packages your flight, reef access, buffet lunch, and your choice of snorkel gear or glass-bottom boat tour—saving money against booking separately. Morning pickup from Cairns CBD included; you'll return under your own steam at day's end.

What to expect
Your day starts with a morning pickup, then you'll board the seaplane for sweeping views of the reef and islands before touching down at Green Island. The catamaran takes over from there, offering a full day of reef interaction—whether you opt to snorkel directly or observe marine life from the glass-bottom boat. Lunch is a buffet spread eaten on the island. The pace is relaxed; this suits families and those wanting reef access without strenuous activity. Note that gluten-free meals aren't catered, so plan accordingly if needed.
Good to know
Weight limit is 125 kg per person. Infants sit on adult laps during flight; prams work on the island. You'll arrange your own return transport to accommodation. Optional paid activities (semi-submarine, sea walker) are available but separate. Check dietary requirements with operators in advance.
