Tour Overview

An exhilarating, full-day tour which offers stunning views of the Atherton Tabelands during an early-morning hot air balloon ride and then takes you to Green Island where you can delve deep into the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.

  • Hot air balloon ride over the Atherton Tablelands
  • Stunning 30-minute flight
  • Catamaran ride to Green Island
  • Choice between Snorkelling or a glass-bottomed boat tour at the reef
  • Activities and time to relax on Green Island‘s pristine beaches

Step aboard a hot air balloon and glide gently through the skies towards the Atherton Tablelands, a lush plateau south of Cairns, enjoying an invigorating breeze and an amazing view of Tropical North Queensland on the way.

The experience will be a visual treat, with a view of emerald green vegetation below and a multitude of colourful hot air balloons around you

Cruise on a catamaran to Green Island, a magnificent coral cay in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Dive into the turquoise waters surrounding the island to snorkel with a variety of marine species, from shy turtles to busy fish or stay dry by taking a ride on a glass-bottom boat over the Reef’s corals. Friendly tour guides will organise activities on Green Island‘s warm beaches. Take part in them or simply soak up some sun on the sand.
