Beautiful island and you can swim at the beach. Lovely trip over and very friendly staff. Half day is plenty of time, it’s majestic but also a tiny island.

A great day, beautiful spot that is a must see, if it’s a windy day and you’re inclined to get sea sick, make sure you take some complimentary tablets before you leave.

Great day trip. SNUBA (assisted SCUBA) is a must do add on. Great experience and definitely worth the few extra dollars.

I wasn’t expecting great things from this tour being aware that Green Island is heavily trafficked by tourists but thought it might be a decent little trip with my young kids. Trip over was smooth, takes about an hour. Equipment hire is quick and efficient. Snorkeling was ok but…

Sorry to read of your disappointment Capnes. If you'd like to forward me your booking details to c.koscielny@experienceco.com I'd be more than happy to follow up with the ops team as to why the Semi sub would have been cut short as this is generally a 20 - 25 min experience. As you'll see from other reviews, this activity is usually one of the highlights for families. As for the underwater visibility, i can only assume it may have been a windier day which I can appreciate can affect this. Thanks for taking the time to write in. Regards, Chris
