Green Island is a coral cay formed after sea levels stabilized roughly 6,000 years ago; it has long been part of local Indigenous maritime country and later a focal point for reef tourism.
The island sits within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park so reef-safe practices and designated moorings minimize anchor damage; visitors are encouraged to follow Leave No Trace and use reef-friendly products.
