What our guests say about their experience

Simply the best reef/dive experience for a family with teens!

We just returned from an overnight trip and would turnaround and do it again! We loved everything!!! We are a group of four beginner divers (two adults and two teenagers) and we could not have had a better experience - the captain and dive instructor were knowledgeable, helpful and great company! The equipment is really well looked after and the boat is comfortable. We saw truly amazing things, learned something that we hadn’t tried before and even managed a night dive. Indescribably good. Do yourself a favour - explore the reef with these guys. It was amazing.

Fantastic, relaxed experience for certified and non-certified divers

What an awesome trip, highly recommended! My family of 2 adults and 3 teens, just got back from a two day diving trip on Coral Sea Dreaming. The crew was fantastic, super chill, but very professional. Having only 12 passengers with 3 crew made for a relaxed vibe. The food was great and the diving/snorkeling was sensational (don’t skip the epic night dive!). Both the certified and non-certified divers had an awesome time. I definitely recommend booking Coral Sea Dreaming for your trip to the Reef.

First attempt to dive

This is a fantastic cruise, the crew are fantastic. Their encouragement and enthusiasm is wonderful. All of the crew constantly checking your safety whilst diving and snorkelling. Highly recommended.

Great experience!

AMAZING, the crew were so friendly, polite and attentive, the boat was SO COOL and the dives were just fantastic. The divemaster was very experienced and took us to some great sites. And I loved that hot meal after a day of sailing of diving. Thank you!!

Great experience!!!

We could not recommend it more! Whole crew and instructors went out their way to make our trip comfortable, safe and fun! With very few divers on board we have had Milln reef only for ourselves! And what a amazing reef that is 🥰🥰🥰

Incredible 10 out of 10... The best way to see the Reef

Had an amazing time with the Coral Sea dreaming crew, totally exceeded all expectations, wouldn't want to explore the reef in any other way. Would give them 10 stars if I could, I'll be recommending them to everyone I know and would love to do it again if ever in Cairns again. Cheers guys and thanks for the unforgettable trip!!

⛵️ Authentic sailing experience


Being a sailboat, we endeavour to sail whenever we can.

There is nothing quite like turning off the engines, and just sailing away with no other sounds than the waves made by the boat. 🌊
