Extremely low passenger number Great Barrier Reef & Green Island tour (max 25 guests). In fact the only small sail, reef and tropical island experience in Cairns. Swim, snorkel or dive straight off the boat onto an exclusive magnificent GBR site - no crowds .The boat is moored just 1Km off Green Island - a highly protected Marine Park zone . From Cairns, sail to this reef site and Green Island in style on a two-mast schooner and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch on board. After snorkelling off the boat take a tender transfer to explore the beauty of Green Island, see the rainforest or laze on the white sandy beaches .

Ocean Free is a two-masted motor-sailer, crew of 3, 8-10 passengers the day I went. It's two hours out to their spot on the reef, just north of Green Island. The vessel is hugely more fun than the big catamarans, and the crew were helpful and friendly the whole day. On arrival we had about an hour for scuba or snorkel as preferred, with careful safety briefings and dive master/dive instructor in attendance at all times. The skipper kept watch from the cabin roof. All equipment supplied and all experience levels welcome. After lunch on board, we went ashore on Green Island for an explore, then another optional dive/snorkel, and then back aboard for the trip home. The adventure was everything I hoped.

The ride to the island was great! The crew was friendly and competent. Food was very plentiful. Directions to find the boat were very clear! Had a great time. Only other thing would have been great was to get pics or video from a pro photographer as my cell phone took crummy videos!!

I had the chance to board a magnificent sailboat with a smiling and very friendly crew! I did two dives with Paul it was incredible.
Turtles, fish and giant clams await you. The food was excellent and we were able to take a nice walk on Green Island.
I 100% recommend this tour!

We had a great day on the cruise over to Green Island. The crew could not have been more lovely. Helpful, kind and with infectious enthusiasm. We were fed throughout the day with good, fresh food. It is a very different experience to most trips out of Cairns - proper sailing and really good fun. The crew were very helpful when we went snorkelling - they were keen to make sure we all saw the best of the Barrier Reef. They provide a good experience for all levels of snorkelers. The snorkelling was excellent.
A thoroughly good experience with an excellent crew.

Don't go with any preconceived ideas about what you will see and you will be amazed. Learning to snorkel, meeting turtles in their natural environment amidst a cloud of tiny fishes, and seeing the crocs on Green Island were some my highlights. A team of three looked after us keeping us safe, fed, and informed. And a lovely sail back to Cairns. It was a wonderful day, worth every penny and I'd recommend it.

A delightful day. The staff were so gracious, informative and patient. The snorkeling was great, amazing coral, colorful fish, turtles, humongous clams and more. They feed you so well. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that they drop you off at Green Island for an hour or so and what humans have done to that island is a bit depressing. We couldn’t wait to leave. Otherwise, a perfect day.

Amazing day on a sailing boat with an excellent crew that was both nice, chill and enormously attentive. We have visited marine parks in different parts of the world, but this was next level. Great care for those scuba diving or snorkeling for the first time. All the equipment was in top shape. The food was very fresh and tasted great. With three adults we were so happy to have chosen a smaller boat - it felt both intimate and like true luxury! Best suited for those without young children.

Spent the day on Ocean Free Sailing boat out to Green Island today. It was an awesome day, awesome crew and fantastic experience. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to bypass the crowds for a more unique sailing and snorkeling experience. Crew couldn’t be more helpful, snorkeling was great, food was great and will be back at some stage to do again. Thanks crew for looking after us and making a was day full of fun (even got to sail the boat for a while).
