Big Cat Green Island Reviews

Michael Collier

The day-trip to Green Island was worth doing and the Big Cat was a fast and comfortable way of visiting Green Island. The facilities were very good and staff were friendly and helpful. Lunch, served onboard, was tasty and plentiful with plenty of healthy and hearty options. I would recommend the trip to my friends.
