Very friendly, not crowded, good food , professional, great day.
Our Dreamtime Dive & Snorkel trip was an absolute success! The entire crew was exceptionally polite and friendly, making the whole day feel easy and welcoming. Everything was flawlessly organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. We got wonderful pictures, and the experience was truly nice throughout the day. Highly recommend this tour .
Had a great day out on the reef. The crew were friendly and attentive, there was plenty of seating on the boat and lunch was very nice. The tour was a bit smaller than some of the other options which was nice. The reef was pretty good - we went to two spots. Always good to note that it does take about an hour and a half to get out to the reef. Obviously you cannot control what nature you see on the day but there were plenty of fish to look at but that was kind of it. Safety was very important to the crew. As confident swimmers this didn't matter to us too much but I can imagine it would for those who are a bit less confident. Overall a nice day out.
Good day! Lovely crew, good information in form of cultural and environmental presentations which makes it a more sustainable option. Snacks and lunch provided - good!

Great Team and Very Committed...
Despite our trip being cancelled due to severe weather, I felt compelled to leave a review because of how exceptional the Dreamtime Dive & Snorkel team truly is. Safety was clearly their top priority, and while it was disappointing not to be able to proceed as planned, the way the crew handled the situation spoke volumes about their professionalism and integrity. By all accounts, I felt they did a fantastic job under challenging conditions — calm, capable, and deeply committed to delivering the best possible experience.
