The best camping near Green Island National Park guide
Overview
About
Embark on an adventure to Green Island National Park, a tropical jewel nestled on the Great Barrier Reef. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in activities like snorkelling amid vibrant coral gardens, exploring lush rainforest trails, and unwinding on sun-kissed beaches. Although overnight stays are not an option, the island's day-use area offers a scenic escape with all the allure of a remote island getaway.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Green Island National Park is between April and September, when the weather is cooler and less humid. These months offer the most comfortable conditions for exploring the island's natural beauty. However, be mindful of the summer months, as the presence of stinging jellyfish and tropical storms can make visits less pleasant.
Know before you go
- Protect yourself from the sun with a hat and sunscreen, and consider wearing a full-body lycra suit for protection against stinging jellyfish.
- Check weather conditions before your visit, as strong winds or cyclonic activity may affect access to the island.
- Remember, no domestic animals are allowed on Green Island National Park.
- Wheelchair-accessible boardwalks and tracks are available for an inclusive experience.
- Be pest-free! Ensure your gear is free of soil, seeds, and insects to protect the island's ecosystem.
