The main attraction on Green Island is Marineland Melanesia which is an art gallery, aquarium and crocodile farm. At the end of the Jetty is the Marine Observatory, a good place to see corals. Fitzroy Island Fitzroy Island is larger than Green Island and 45 minutes form Cairns. Fitzroy has a resort with less obvious coral and much more vegetation than Green Island.

The Great Barrier Reef's great diversity reflects the maturity of the ecosystem, which has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. It is the world's most extensive coral reef system and is one of the world's richest areas in terms of faunal diversity.

Kuranda The settlement of Kuranda is located approximately 30 kilometres north west of Cairns. Kuranda's difference in altitude, together with its much smaller size, gives it a completely different feeling from Cairns, its city neighbour. In the market area you can also find Birdworld with many exotic species of Australian and overseas birds, including the cassowary. You can also find there a Butterfly Sanctuary, the largest in Australia, with some 2,000 butterflies.
