Excellent experience which you never want to miss.
Very lovely and friendly staff. We had fun on the glass bottom boat and snorkelling. When I initially started using the snorkelling equipment, I had a lot of trouble getting used to it, but eventually I got the hang of it and was able to witness fish and corals up close. It is highly recommended.

Highly recommend this half day trip on Green Island!!!!
I had a great time on Green Island—many thanks to Experience Oz for the fabulous trip. We were well looked after, and we even got a free ice cream on the boat. I highly recommend this half day if you want to enjoy the rest of the afternoon sitting by the pool.

Half day with snorkelling fun in the sun and beach
Great friendly team. We thoroughly enjoyed the snorkelling and beach. Didn’t find nemo but there was plenty of beautiful coral and other fish just swimming around us. Overall nice and relaxing morning. Happy with the half day and it suited our needs
