Green Island

Everything was as explained in the advertising. I really appreciated access to the boat all day, access to water, a free coffee to start the day. This is a lovely way to see Green Island.

Absolutely worth it

One of the best boat trips I've been on, So professional yet laid back .To me it's a winning combination. Beautiful big catamaran with loads of space. The team they have are so good they personally come up to every guest to explain everything but also ask you what you want to get out of your day. A marine Biologist on the crew also. No pushy sales just genuine great customer service. I didn't purchase the buffet lunch but after seeing it I sure wish I did . What a very tasty looking spread. I had packed a picnic. The island is very nice and host to a vast array of nature's forna & flora. Looking at what is available .This is a great day out you won't be disappointed.

Christmas Eve day adventure to Green Island

My Green Island adventure on Christmas Eve was brilliant from start to finish. Loads of fun had in the water (swimming, snorkelling) and above the water (parasailing). The booking process on this site is very user-friendly and great deals on offer. Thank you.
