Overview

Take a boat from Cairns to this secluded eco-friendly escape on the cusp of the reef that has held and advanced ecotourism certification for over 20 years. Green Island Resort sits in the tropical habitat of a coral cay and rainforest and implements a number of innovative sustainability initiatives to limit waste and protect the pristine natural environment where it's located. 

A quarter of the island's energy supply comes from solar power and the resort is working towards closing the loop in its waste management. This includes things like turning food waste into nutrient rich fertiliser and using a glass crusher that turns bottles into sand. Plus, raised timber boardwalks allow you to explore the national park with minimal impact on wildlife and tree root systems.
