Green Island Adventure (105)

Glass bottom boat guide was excellent

Enjoyed the ride to & from Green Island. The glass bottom boat guide was excellent. Unfortunately, tide was too low for swimming so stuck to pool. Overall, according to expectations.

Posted By Les Gilbert

The only issue was the birds

The only issue was the birds and the mess they left, not that its anyones fault but it was the only thing that let the island down, I thought anyway.

We had a fabulous day

We had a fabulous day on our Travstar trip to Green Island. The boat trip, glass bottom boat, snorkeling, rainforest walk, everything was just wonderful. Enjoyed by grandkid, grandma & parents alike. Highly recommended.

There were lots of fish

We had a very good time on Green Island. There were lots of fish swimming around when we were snorkeling. The island was clean and tidy.

The hotel room was very nice but feel they could tidy up the pool area, chairs need fixing and could do with a good sweep other wise nice. Breakfast was good.
