About this tour
Combine an underwater helmet walk with a full day on Green Island, 45 minutes off Cairns. The Seawalker experience lets you stroll the reef floor breathing normally while fish and coral surround you—no diving qualification needed, no getting wet. Pair it with either a glass-bottom boat tour or snorkelling, then relax at the island's pool and restaurant. This combo saves over 10% against separate bookings.

What to expect
You'll board a catamaran at Cairns and motor out to Green Island, a 6000-year-old coral cay. Once there, trained guides kit you in the Seawalker helmet—a weighted helmet that lets you breathe naturally whilst walking on the seafloor at a shallow site minutes from shore. Fish and coral fill your view. Your head stays completely dry; glasses stay on. The walk lasts as long as you're comfortable. Afterwards, choose between a glass-bottom boat tour or grab snorkelling gear to explore further. The island has shaded areas, a pool, and a restaurant serving meals and snacks at reasonable prices.
