Wonderful day on the reef! - We had a memorable time out on the reef that day. Despite some negative reviews, the crew was very professional and provided a great experience that day. Whether you were interested in the marine life and / or wanted to learn more about the indigenous people prior to the arrival of Europeans, they had good presentations and additionally items to look at. Weather was a challenge and so, some did get sick going out to the reef sites - crew was there to assist wherever possible. The food options were very good with allot of variety, considering this was the most economical of the trip options out to the reef that day. I chose this company as the boat was one of the smaller ones (this, fewer people) going out to the far side of the reef. I was hoping for seeing more healthy looking coral - the trade off being less time in water snorkeling. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will be going out again with this group.

Fantastic day in Reefs - I was supposed to take part for the Great Barrier Reef with Cultural Guides Dreamtime Dive and Snorkel but they have to cancelled this one and I have opportunity to take instead part for the Magic Reef cruise. This one was perfect. The cruise from harbour to Magic Reef ponton took around 1,5h. We stopped to Fitzgroy Island and then head up to ponton. We had 4,5h time to spend in ponton, you could choose different kind of activities: diving, snorkel, class bottom boat, under water room and some extra activities like helicopter ride.
We had nice lunch and you could also bought some drinks from ponton or in cruise after snorkling. There were photographer in the water and it was possibility bought your own pictures after the day.

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!

Would High Recommend Scuba Diving - Great Experience for Scuba Diving! Sofia, Jeff, Drew and Jacob were very helpful and great! Definitely make sure you’re paying attention during instruction as this is your life and the instructors have tons of others to worry about as well! They were very kind and knowledgeable, very helpful and friendly! Great experience!

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.
