Green Island is a small, picturesque coral cay in the Great Barrier Reef, known for its lush rainforest and white sandy beaches. It’s a popular destination for tourists, offering activities like snorkelling, diving, and glass-bottom boat tours. The island is particularly famous for its sea turtle population, with green and hawksbill turtles often seen offshore. These turtles are attracted to the island’s surrounding reef and seagrass meadows, which provide ample feeding grounds.
Green Island has been a national park since 1937 and is part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area since 1981. It’s a unique place where visitors can experience the natural beauty of the reef and observe marine life, including the beloved turtles, in their natural habitat.
