Among the world's most famous diving and snorkelling sites, Agincourt Reef's pure beauty beggars belief!
With over 16 absolutely spectacular diving spots, Agincourt Reef is a favourite among divers. Located off the coast of Port Douglas, there are several marine operators to choose from to take you on a cruise of this wonderful location. If diving and getting wet aren't on the agenda, many of the operators also provide you with semi-submersible submarines and glass bottom boats to marvel at the vibrant aquatic life under the waters. Some even have underwater observatories to view the animals and plants up close without actually getting wet. Choose the best package for yourself according to requirements, and you're set for a wonderful day out at sea!

Green Island
The only cay in on the reef with a rainforest on it, Green Island is a fantastic lush island with areas to explore and many activities!
Home to over 120 plant species, the island is actually a protected National Park. The island also sees tons of coral gardens around it and a vibrant bird life as well. This 6,000 year old wonder is a must visit attraction right next to Cairns. You can go walking around, exploring the island (which is not very large in size), or dive into the beautiful coral gardens surrounding it. The resort itself was built in such a way as to minimise any impact on the natural surroundings, and most trees protruding into the resort areas were left as is.
