Friendly straff doing their best to provide a memorable experience. Good food, great dives, good service. I had not dived in many years, and had a refresh session as part of the first dive, which was good.

This was a superb overnight trip to the Great Barrier Reef. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Good food, good non-alcohol drinks & beer, but the white wine wasn't so good. We didn't Scuba but did the snorkeling which was still wonderful. Those that did Scuba had great reviews and wonderful pictures of their dives. It was very cool to watch their lights in the water on their night dive.
Our private room had air conditioning and a fan. The on-board shower had plenty of hot water.
It was great to be part of a small intimate group as opposed to being part of a herd on a larger boat (we were only 7 passengers). Our return to Cairns was very exciting as we had good winds and mostly sailed back instead of using the motor.
Our thanks to Captain Jans, Anna, Daniel, and Louis!!

Was in Australia for work and wanted to see the Great Barrier Reef. Thought a two day tour would be amazing for this once in a lifetime opportunity to visit the reef. Convinced a coworker to come with me and booked the tour. Once I got confirmation it was booked I then continued to book flights and hotels. Got there for the tour they had no knowledge of us coming and all tours were full for the day. Complete waste of our time and trip. Coral sea dreaming did their best to get us on another tour but with no luck. The tour guide also called viator to get us our money back.
When calling viator about this huge mess up. I was told the money for the tour was refunded. However that’s not the point. You ruined a trip and extra money was spent on top of what I already spent to try and somewhat salvage the trip.
