Absolutely great day . Just went on the half day. We had time to sit and have a coffee, have a snorkel off the beach around the pier, then a glass bottom boat tour which was great.. money well spent. We will go back and maybe take the snorkel tour to go a bit deeper .

Water was crystal clear the day we visited, also very calm, hardly a wave evident. Abundant sea life and coral formations directly beside the jetty, easy to snorkel around. You can get about 1 hour 30 mins snorkeling in on the half day trip, perfect for us an exceeded our expectations.

We were very disappointed at first when we didn't see much while snorkeling at first. When we then went to the other strand and swam further out we saw a lot of corals, small and large fish and an octopus. Don't expect to see the Reef's picture-book performance, though. Nevertheless, very impressive and recommended at any time. We hadn't booked a guide (we didn't realize that wasn't included) I can imagine that you can benefit even more with a guide. Drive to Green Island was very pleasant even if the boat was totally full.
