Green Island is a compact reef island just off Cairns—lime-green rainforest, white-sand beaches, and vivid coral-water colors. Shoot from the beach lookouts for turquoise gradients, boardwalk-style views for layered foregrounds, and snorkeling for color-rich underwater scenes. Best light is sunrise to early morning (clear visibility, softer contrast) and late afternoon. Ferries run from Cairns; book in advance in peak season.
