Embark on an exhilarating sailing adventure aboard a classic sailboat, captained by a skilled crew, as you set sail from Cairns towards the iconic Green Island and the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef. With each passing moment, feel the warm embrace of the salty breeze against your skin as you glide gracefully through the azure waters. As you anchor at the exclusive Great Barrier Reef mooring, just 1 kilometer offshore, step onto the pristine sands of the island and immerse yourself in the serene surroundings.

Upon arrival, join the crew for a thorough snorkeling briefing before embarking on a series of small, personalized snorkeling tours designed to maximize your underwater experience. Experience the vibrant marine life of the Great Barrier Reef up close, observing diverse coral formations, colorful reef fish, playful stingrays, gentle turtles, and the elusive yet incredibly docile black-tipped reef sharks – all safely within reach of your diving companions.

Following the morning's excursions, savor a sumptuous lunch onboard, feasting on freshly caught Tasmanian salmon, succulent prawns, delectable mixed meats, tender chicken, and a delightful array of three different salads. Indulge in a leisurely afternoon spent relaxing on the beach or engaging in optional island activities such as exploring the island's charming resort, visiting Marine Land Melanesia where you'll have the opportunity to observe wild crocodiles in their natural habitat, or enjoying a scenic glass-bottomed boat tour.

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, prepare for a tranquil evening ahead. Relish a selection of fresh fruits, artisan cheeses, crisp crackers, a glass of premium wine, and finally, a decadent slice of cake to conclude your enchanting journey. The night winds down under the stars, leaving behind memories of an unforgettable adventure that will last a lifetime.
