Fantastic Day
We had a great day with Dreamtime cruises. We visited 2 reefs and both had some spectacular corals and fish. We also saw turtles and dolphins which was very special. Full equipment was provided and the buffet lunch was good. Particularly appreciated the indigenous presentations - entertaining and informative. Particular care over safety. Thanks so much.

Such a great day out in GBR!
Don’t think twice and book with Dreamtime! The tour is well organised and the two snorkelling spots are great! We could spend a lot of time in the water exploring the reef on our own and really enjoyed that. Food is yummy and the cultural presentation added something special to the tour.

Dreamtime Dive and Snorkel - Great Barrier Reef
My experience with Dreamtime Dive and Snorkel to the Great Barrier Reef with amazing, the whole day was well organized and crew on board worked very hard to make sure everyone had a great time! They offered really good food and drink and gave everyone plenty of time in the water snorkeling, I really enjoyed all the informational talks some crew members gave on the history of the Great Barrier Reef and Aboriginal Culture! If there was a way to give more than 5 stars for this experience I would, I highly recommend to everyone!
