Green Island Snorkelling

Grab your snorkel gear from the Dive Shop and get ready to explore the marine world surrounding Green Island – you might even bump into one of the friendly local turtles that call the Island’s waters home.

Snorkelling at Green Island, with its lifeguard patrolled beach, is a safe and exciting way to introduce yourself to the Great Barrier Reef. Snorkel gear includes snorkel, mask and fins; prescriptions masks and flotation vests are available for hire from the dive shop*. Lycra suits are also available for hire for adults and children entering the water, providing sun protection and reducing the possibility of stings and irritations from marine stingers that can frequent tropical waters seasonally. The lycra suits have long sleeves and legs with a hood and mittens. They’re a great fun fashion statement and photo opportunity too!

*Snorkel hire is included in the Green Island Discovery tour  

Enjoy Safe Snorkelling

Green Island’s main beach area, located by Beach Hire, is patrolled by Surf Lifesaving Queensland lifeguards.

• Always snorkel and swim between the flags where the lifeguards can see you.
• If you have a medical condition please advise the lifeguard
• Always snorkel with a partner. Ask a travel companion to be your “snorkelling buddy”
• If you experience difficulty, signal the lifeguard by waving one or both arms above your head and call out for help.
• Please always listen carefully to instructions and follow the advice from the lifeguard.
