Since 1971 Marineland Melanesia has been owned and operated by the Craig Family, with three generations of family still residing and working the business at Green Island.

Welcome to Marineland Melanesia - originally built by 2 partners in the early 60's as "Marineland", before being bought by the Craigs when "Marineland Melanesia" was established. Having worked as a crocodile hunter in Papua New Guinea, George Craig also collected a magnificent range of carvings and ancient Primitive Tribal art from the region known as Melanesia which are now are now on display at Marineland Melanesia along with huge live crocodiles, beautiful marine aquariums and giant marine turtles. Also displayed are a number of old and restored marine artifacts and stationary engines.

Marineland also has a wonderful gift and souvenir shop offering a range of exclusive Green Island hand made jewellery.
Marineland Melanesia is a must see when on Green Island - located just 17 nautical miles offshore from Cairns in Australia's World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef.

The Green Island lifestyle keeps us here, with our home, business and school all rolled into one. We feel very privileged to be able to live and work in such a beautiful tranquil place.
