Green Island Resort
Boutique eco resort on the Great Barrier Reef. Boutique 46 room eco-sensitive resort on the Great Barrier Reef.
Reef Herons are one of the common seabirds youβll be able to spot on Green Island and are amazing to watch. They are ambush hunters and able to stand at the waterβs edgeβ for long periods waiting for prey (crabs, fish) to come to them. They use their beaks to stab the prey, then toss the food into the air and swallow it.β Show offs! π¦οΈποΈπβ
β
Unlike the herons, itβs much easier for guests to enjoy a delightful dining experience at our Emeralds Restaurant or even a private seafood dinner for two on the beach! β πβ

Holidaying on our beautiful little island has just got even better! For the eco warrior or just family fun, guests can now experience a fabulous range of daily marine biologist guided activities showcasing the beauty of Green Island above and below the waterline. What could be even better? Theyβre free!β
β
From the βclean and green island walkβ to the special βreef resilience glass bottom boat tourβ and informal reef talk presentations, the daily eco activities are led by a knowledgeable Reef Biosearch marine biologist and are part of our guest activity programme highlighting sustainability initiatives.β
