This was a very enjoyable snorkeling trip and helicopter ride. Heli was the best 10 min ever! They make the snorkeling easy for all levels. The area looks smaller from the platform, yet is quite satisfying for different types of coral and actually observing larger schools of fish. The crew was lovely as well! The only thing that is stopping me from giving this an excellent rating is that had we not had the coronavirus happening, it would’ve been sold out and that would’ve been a little too crowded for my preference (approximately 200 people, instead we were approximately 60). The only reason we decided to take a risk and go with a larger organization was to take the helicopter ride - which was absolutely outstanding

With so many tour operators available, we are excited to choose "Dreamtime". The staff was amazed all day, and getting snorkel by Marine Biologist, just wow !!! The boat is large, with lots of seats. Food and water were provided and very good. p.s If you are sick at sea, take movement pills without getting into alcohol the night before as I did!

I had a wonderful experience of diving in Moore, and I am very grateful to young pastor Hwan, who has brought me all the support to have an unforgettable experience on the Great Barrier Reef

It's amazing! Our first trip to Cairns, and what a great way to hear what they have to offer! Such a wonderful experience, we can highly recommend. We also paid extra for the boat with Snub Diving which was worth every penny. The staff were very lively, knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm!…

Scuba and Snorkeling - As someone who is afraid to put his head under water and not to swim in the water, this is the best introduction to the new world. The Scuba experience was a great way to start and gave me the confidence to spend an afternoon snorkeling on my own. I highly recommend it for all ages!

The staff was really helpful in explaining all the different activities you could do in a day. Marine biology lectures were fun and snorkel tours were fun. If you get a chance to make a helicopter do it, it was a great way to see the Reef.

We wanted to see the Great Barrier Reef without getting into the water and this gave us the opportunity to sail in a glass boat, an underwater boat and an underwater view. There were many more options for ways to see the reef (though most were additional costs). It was an hour and a half at the base of the pontoons to see the crown. Get lunch including morning tea and muffins with crackers, cheese, meat and tea fruit

I would have given this trip 5 stars, but I have deducted half a star for the crew member not telling me about mask squeeze, and half a star for the crew member who restricted my daughter from eating but no one else. 2 slices of salami and a small scoop of rice does not equal lunch
