Green Island National Park
13ha.
Although this tiny flat island has an area of only 13 ha, the island and its surrounding reefs cover an area of 3000ha. It is covered with dense tropical rain forest vegetation. There are walking trails around and through the island, from which many sea birds can be observed.
A good way of viewing the beauty of the coral reefs and the colorful tropical fish is from a glass-bottomed boat.
