Green Island and the Great Barrier Reef

We took a fast catamaran boat from Cairns to Green Island. It took about 45 min to take us to this Great Barrier Reef destination. 




Once we got to the island we boarded a glass bottom boat and took a tour around the island. The pictures do not show the beauty.... or the two turtles or lots of the small colorful fish that we saw.







Once we were done with the boat tour we spent the rest of the day exploring this small island. It took about 45 minutes to walk around the entire thing. I wanted to go swimming but the water was really shallow for a long way out. 









Right before we departed the wind picked up and it started to rain. Let's just say that the ride home was not a pleasant one. We did everything we could not to toss our Tim-Tams!
