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.
Was a nice experience Saw Lots of marinelife but the Food was really Bad it was just salad and bread but Overall for the Price a good Tour
We started the day being transferred to a different boat because the boat Dreamtime normally uses was required for another trip. Before leaving the marina we were warned that the sea was going to be very rough heading out to the reef and passengers were therefor urged to buy sea sickness prevention medication that was available on board. We followed the advice and were okay but many others weren't, making for a rather unpleasant trip. The snorkelling was okay but the sea was very choppy making it hard work. We've been lucky to have snorkelled in Fiji and the Cook Islands over the past 12 months and found that they were at least as good, if not better, than the 2 sites we went to on the GBR. We were told we'd have a good chance of seeing reef sharks and possibly even turtles but no-one on our trip saw any. The marine biologist's presentation on the way out to the reef was informative as were the indigenous presentations. Overall we felt the snorkelling trips we did in Fiji and the Cook Islands were much better value.
This was my first time going out to the reef & it was amazing. The team at Dreamtime Dive & Snorkel were awesome. Would definitely recommend going with them as it was great to learn about cultural information/history as well as the marine biology.
