Green Island National Park Description
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. There is also an underwater observatory and an aquarium.

The neighboring coral island, Michaelmas Cay, is the nesting place of many thousands of sea birds - one of the largest colonies of birds on the Great Barrier Reef.
