Highlighted reviews from other travelers
A great day out on a comfortable boat with good quality food onboard. Crew were very friendly and professional, offering help whenever it was needed. The knowledge shared over the tannoy along the journey to and from the port was very useful and great to know. Would definitely recommend using this company to snorkel and visit the Whitsunday islands!
One word: magic. I wasn’t too sure what to expect ahead of my tour of the Whitsundays, but wow did it deliver. Whitehaven beach was beautiful and we even saw a turtle during our afternoon snorkelling session! The crew onboard the ZigZag were equally superb, with a special shout-out to our skipper, who very calmly and eloquently spoke in depth about the islands during both our inbound and outbound journey back to Airlie Beach. One of the highlights of my time down under!
