- Swimming and exploring Green Island off the coast of Cairns, Queensland, is a magical experience for any solo female traveler. This tiny coral cay, surrounded by the Great Barrier Reef, offers pristine turquoise waters and lush tropical rainforest, making it a dream destination for adventurers and nature lovers alike.
Upon arriving by ferry, I was instantly captivated by the island’s beauty. The warm, crystal-clear waters beckoned me for a swim. Equipped with snorkel gear, I dove into the vibrant underwater world where I encountered colorful coral gardens and schools of tropical fish. Swimming alongside a majestic Bluespotted Fantail Ray was a highlight, their graceful movements adding to the serene ambiance of the reef.
After a refreshing swim, I wandered through the island’s rainforest walking trails. The shaded paths provided a peaceful escape, with the sounds of birds and rustling leaves adding to the sense of tranquility. Green Island’s compact size made it easy to explore, offering a blend of marine and land-based adventures.
As a solo traveler, I felt safe and embraced the solitude, taking my time to enjoy the natural beauty at my own pace. Green Island is the perfect destination for a day of swimming, snorkeling, and quiet exploration in one of Australia’s most iconic locations.

Oh how fab. Yes of course you've met with those lovely fishies. I suggested you wear a mask without seeing your other vids and oh how you know life underwater. Thank you Christie for the vicarious adventure. You're tops.

@@TheExperienceOfLife-v5r honestly it really was! 😅
Fantastic, loved swimming with you Christie, THANK YOU!!
Water is so clear, nice how you can see the fish. Thanks for sharing.
@@sharonoldham4374 it was one of the best snorkeling experiences I’ve had! Thank you for watching 🙏🤗
What a magical spot. Gee you got some great underwater footage there. Nature is cool, but not when it tries to steal your fish and chips!
@@EYEMISSSEINFELD haha little buggas! 😅
omg i love your under water shots❤
I have a real love / hate relationship with you constantly adding places to my list to visit when I arrive 😅
@@Broke_Expat sorry not sorry 😂😁
@@eucalyptdesigns perfect answer
The fish were such beautiful colours! Lovely
Yes they blew me away! 🤗
How good is Green Island? Went there last year - had a great time - thanks for sharing :)
It had been on my hitlist for a while and it certainly didn't disappoint! Thank you for watching 🙏🤗
@@eucalyptdesigns thank you for sharing :)
Beautiful. I'm there in 2 weeks, can't wait.
I've brought me a Dji action 5 cam especially, can I ask did you colour grade your gopro footage after? It looks amazing.
@@CosyCamper oh yay I’m so excited for you!! Nope no colour grading needed, all the colours of the fish and the water are actually the hat spectacular 😃🙌 🐟 🐠
It was amazing. Even seen a white tip reef shark. Shame I'm so far away in the UK to visit there anytime soon. 😢
5k will be a nice milestone this week. You have things dialed in nicely. I wish I could film underwater at Tongue Reef last weekend. My friend saw a whale, across the top of the water while he was swimming not through the water but still it was close.
@@CairnsLobster thanks Andre, yes almost there! 🙌 I have been following the whales along the coast for weeks, but still haven’t managed to capture one on the drone yet haha
@@eucalyptdesigns wish you luck on getting whales 🐋
funny birds :-)
Haha they were so cheeky! 😅
🥰💜💜💜💜🥰
How did you get your drone down there?
It's my underwater drone, I call it the flying fish 3000 😁
I was wondering that also. I never heard anyone mention they had an underwater drone. Fantastic 😮
@@sharonoldham4374 oh I was having a laugh sorry 😬 I was just using my GoPro ☺️
HI Kristie beautiful video absolutely gorgeous do you mind me asking what style your go pro is as i have been looking to purchase one but really have no idea and the Quilty of yours is amazing
@@anitasmith9717 Hi Anita sure no problem, happy to help! I have a GoPro11, it has been great but I have to admit I am now thinking I may get a DJI Osmo Action. I use DJI for all my other equipment and they are pretty great quality. If you are going to get either I would get the latest version because they now have longer battery life and better features. If you want to check out the comparison for both look up Becca Farsace on TH-cam, she gives great pros and cons. And lastley, I have just worked out that the underwater footage is best in slow mo mode to give a smoother video and I loved placing it on rocks while fish swam up to it 😅 Hope this helps!
Obviously the video went swimmingly, the views were spectacular and the fish were nice also , sorry just the British humour at play , actually very nice video indeed, take care nice soul = me .
@@KavanOBrien haha any humour is always welcome 😅 thanks very much 🙏☺️
Years ago, I used to scuba up north when the coral was so colourful and beautiful, looks like a lot of dead coral now….
I hear that it has changed a lot over the years, I suppose its the effects of global warming 😬
