Green Island National Park is one of the Great Barrier Reef's most popular destinations. This small rainforest-clad coral cay is fringed by palms and sandy beaches that slope gently to the clear, blue-green waters of the surrounding reef. The island is spiritually significant to the Gungandji Aboriginal people. Stroll around the island's boardwalks to explore the rainforest and birdlife and find out about the island's history. Walk along the beaches to view seabirds and enjoy views over the reef. Relax on the beach. Swim or snorkel in the clear reef waters. Take a ride in a glass-bottomed boat or join a guided nature walk. Visit the world's first underwater observatory and the Marineland Melanesia Crocodile Habitat.
