Amazing experience - Absolutely amazing tour! Snorkeling was amazing, the whole crew was so kind and knowledgeable. Jed and Jacob were great cultural guides as week and it was so interesting learning about their cultures!

Best Great Barrier Reef snorkel/dive experience - This is the only GBR tour that includes authentic indigenous cultural experiences with indigenous crew. The whole experience from start to finish is professional, organized and well run. Many marine biologists and experts on diving and snorkeling. More time on the reef than other outfits.

Felt at ease and comfortable! - Excellent experience with many qualified staff to help. We also had a talk about indigenous customs with music demonstrations and a fish feeding show. Tour was done very professionally with a caring staff. Lunch and afternoon sweets were also served which was delicious. Highly recommend!

Fun dive with Dreamtime - I went on Dreamtime's Great Barrier Reef Cruise with my partner, and we did two certified dives with them. The experience was amazing! The dive sites were carefully selected and beautiful. We saw so many beautiful fish, a cpl of cute reef sharks, and unbelievable coral formations. All the equipment was good, and the whole crew seemed very professional. A special shoutout goes to our dive instructor Frankie, who made sure we felt safe and had the best time underwater. Thanks Frankie!

Excellent tour. Would do it again if I had the opportunity! - The weather was perfect, the water was beautiful, the snorkeling and scuba diving was gorgeous, and the lunch was much more than we expected!

Great reef experience - Snorkeling the reef was really amazing. We observed a variety fish including a reef shark and an eel. The information and indigenous culture were also very interesting. Unfortunately we did see some coral bleaching. Can only hope that we all take this seriously.

Great Fun With Great Guides - I went yesterday with two of our friends from Ghana. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and wish there would have been more of the zip lines. Our guides, Daniel and Chris made the experience very much fun for all.

A great reef experience - Plenty of free time at two lovely reefs and saw a lot of marine life! Instructions and safety procedures were clearly communicated. Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable! Cultural presentations were thoughtful and informative. Snacks, water and coffee/tea were available at most times. Lunch line took a while, but we had a pretty full boat. It wasn’t anything fancy but was filling and varied. Weather was beautiful in late September and they had wetsuits which provided good insulation and buoyancy. The trip to and from was easy and on schedule. I would definitely recommend this tour company!

Day on Reef - We booked this tour last minute as we were interested in the additional cultural side as the pictures show indigenous crew. Unfortunately on our boat we only had one crew member from this background who did some talks on various tribal culture which was interesting. The picture also shows a glass bottom boat which we didn’t have either. The rest of the trip was good lots of snorkelling in two areas of reef and we did see a lot of wonderful colourful fish which made the day. The buffet lunch and snacks were also good.

Good trip, take sea sick tablets. Annoying chop as water kept entering snorkels. - Great trip but definitely take anti sea sick tablets before going. One of us was still sick on the way out anyway. Wear a wetsuit - you will get colder than you expect after a while. Unfortunately because it is choppy water we spent most of our time trying to clear the water from our snorkels which doesn't make for a relaxing time. (Maybe they need longer snorkels for the rough outer reef.) Because of this we didn't get in at the second stop. Cultural aspect was great.
