Best Day
Wonderful day with great support from Dreamtime crew for a slightly hesitant out of practice snorkeler. Staff were amazing - made me feel very safe, Food was amazing, and Great Barrier reef was out of this world amazing. The added combination of cultural and marine biological perspective made this a unique experience. Absolutely reccomend

Great Day Out
Dreamtime snorkel was fantastic. So glad I opted for the "Guided Snorkel Safari Tour". Ally (marine biologist) was so informative and guided us to view two reef shark species. Food was delicious and the cultural talks/demonstrations were very informative.
