We had a great day. The boat ride to and from the reef was great, 3 floors to the boat with indoor and outdoor seating. There were presentations along the way about the reef. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The 2 reef sites were different. We had a strong current at the 2nd stop which caused some guests to float far away and the crew was fast to respond and increase safety measures after. Lunch was plentiful with lots of options. Great fresh fruit with water, coffee, and tea always available. Bar open for soft drinks and beer. We only had maybe 30 on the boat which was great. We paid much less using book me than others on our cruise ship so I'd definitely recommend using them!
Absolutely amazing experience on the outer reef! They took us to two reefs and both were stunning, a lot of sea life, different size and shape corals and we even spotted couple of turtles. The staff from Reef Unlimited was very lovely! They were very knowledgeable and friendly, giving insight not just about the coral reef but also about the indigenous people and culture. The lunch included was great, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Overall, definitely would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see the Great Barrier Reef :)
We loved this trip. Food was delicious and the buffet was generous. We saw turtles a reef shark and enjoyed seeing the Māori wrasse being fed. There weren’t too many people so plenty of room to snorkel and space to relax on the boat. Would highly recommend.
We had great time on the reef, staff are helpful and caring, kids friendly activity.

Amazing
Ive been on the reef a few times with diferent companies but this was hands downs the best. The boat was not over crowded, it was organised and the staff were ALL friendly. We were supplied a beautiful lunch which was a huge variety of FRESH salads, meats, prawns, breads with tea n coffee. The reef was amazing and I will definitely book straight with dreamtime again. Even had entertainment and informative talks by the staff
