I fell in love with Australia this day! I did not think I would see so many different shades of blue in 1 day😍

Stayed on green island at the Great Barrier Reef and spotted so many sea turtles just off shore :)
Green Island is one of the most accessible islands in the Great Barrier Reef, just a 40 minute boat ride from Cairns. You can do a day trip or stay overnight in the resort.

Green Island is great for snorkeling and other water sports like parasailing and windsurfing. There's also an eco-rainforest boardwalk and a croc sanctuary.

The day of the 15th, when the room was serviced, a few things were not done. I had to request tea bags, hand towels, etc. For a Hilton Hotel at $260 per night, I was slightly disappointed. Next time I stay in Cairns, I will choose another hotel. Buffet breakfast was excellent

Beautiful, large living space with amazing ocean view. Had more than we could have needed from the patio furniture to all the small appliances and dishes. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The car we rented was well maintained and a wonderful option to have.

Our first room was disgusting got moved after viewing another 3 rooms, picked the best one out of the 3. The staff were very nice and made it clear it was out of their control and the apartments are mostly privately owned. The pool wasn't great missing tiles and grit on the bottom.
