An island tour is the perfect option for travellers who would like to visit the Great Barrier Reef, but don't want to spend all day on the boat, or for those ones who have already visited the outer reef but would like to snorkel again. This is also a good reef tour option for families with small children.
On an island tour visitors travel on a boat for a short time and once on the island they have the whole day to relax and explore a beautiful tropical paradise. The reef around the island is considered the inner reef, however the snorkeling experience is much easier compared to boat cruises because the reef is just off the beach so clients have an easy entrance into the water making snorkelling much more comfortable.
There are three islands around Cairns and Port Douglas that offer daily visits. Two of them are located off the cost of Cairns, Fitzroy Island and Green Island; and one is located off the cost of Port Douglas, Low Isles. They are all beautiful tropical islands and a great choice of tour.
