5.00We had a wonderful experience with the PADI certified divers and guides. They patiently explained all the requirements for both snorkeling as well as diving. The boat ride is quite bumpy so those who have motion sickness will find this boat ride quite painful. Even those of us who normally don't get motion sickness were a bit queasy. It helps to sit somewhere were you can get fresh air and breeze. But no pain no gain right! Both the times that we got into the water we got to experience the beauty of the GBR and why it is worth it. A must do when you visit Cairns. Especially with DreaTime Dive and Snorkel.

5.00We arrived early so we would know where to go. The boat is at the end of the ramp but the name is on a marker on a post at the start of the ramp. The people were very friendly and helpful, definitely there to make sure we had a good time. We snorkeled at 2 locations and had plenty of time to do so. We came in before they called everyone in. Lunch was light - salads and small sandwiches. Great for getting in the water and in between snorkels. There was coffee tea and cookies on the way out and fruit, pastries and tea, coffee on the way back. It was small enough the we felt like we were looked after yet plenty of space to roam on our own. There were two bathrooms - one had a shower for a quick wash off of sea water. Which felt really good. All in all a long day our but came back feeling like we’d been on the reef
A wonderful reef snorkeling experience

5.00A well run tour, very helpful and friendly staff. All the snorkeling equipment was in good condition and the reefs were amazing. I loved the input from the First Nations guides, it was wonderful. We had a calm day, but if like me you suffer from motion sickness, make sure you take preventative drugs.
