  The Red Cat crew, Randall, Kobi and Flynn ensure that we had a fabulous day out! Would highly recommend this trip if you love exploring new places. The snorkeling was great, we saw so many fish and the coral was some of the most beautiful we have seen. Organisation was very good.

  First time snorkelling didn’t know what to expect, but thanks to Red Cat Adventures it was a memorable experience. We loved every second of it, even the washing machine… thx Kurt. Jordy and his “new” trainee was amazing. The whole crew kept us all entertained.

  From booking through to the end of our day out, the staff here are amazing. I would like to mention Luke, who booked us in and the crew - Jordy, Kurt and Reece who looked after us on the boat and the amazing bus ladies - they all made the whole experience fantastic. We took three kids onboard and when they had had enough, Jordy popped in the boat and ensured they felt part of the whole day. The kids found them to be kind and super friendly. Great tour!

  

  

  

• Had a great experience at a wavy sea

  It was amazing! Sea was rough so there was a lot of waves but it was very fun because of that. It was a bit longer, came back at 17:30 but it was nice as in this way we managed to do 2 snorkeling spots. Not many people on the boat, quite a comfortable size, the team (Ellie and the capitan of TD1) was explanatory, kept it fun and safe. Would recommend!

  Awesome experience. NAT and Randall (thundercat2 /team green) were the most awesome hosts. We did the snorkel, lookout,Whitehaven beach day trip. We loved the snorkelling so much we will be back again. The lunch was amazing so much food and the snacks, we were well looked after. Highly recommend Redcat.

• Overpriced and Impersonal – Wouldn’t Recommend

  I wouldn’t recommend this tour, especially given the high price. From the start, the experience felt impersonal and poorly managed. Before boarding, we were told that if we sat at the front we’d get very wet and essentially just had to “suck it up.” Unfortunately, because of the boarding order, we ended up at the front with no real choice. There was also no proper warning ahead of time about how choppy the conditions would be or the likelihood of sea sickness. By the time they mentioned that those prone to feeling unwell should sit at the back, everyone was already lined up and naturally taking the “better” seats—so it was too late. The whole day felt very robotic, and there was little effort made to connect with guests. We didn’t get to know the guides at all, and they didn’t create a welcoming or reassuring atmosphere. The boat itself was much smaller than expected, which again wasn’t communicated in advance. At one point, we were taken through something they called “the washing machine,” which was treated as a fun thrill, but there was no acknowledgment that some people might find extremely rough conditions uncomfortable or even distressing. Lunch was also disappointing. The vegetarian option was clearly an afterthought—essentially just the standard meal with the meat removed, leaving a small amount of cheese, salad, and a bread roll, with no real effort to provide a proper alternative. We also spent far too long at Whitehaven Beach, which made parts of the day feel poorly balanced. As someone snorkeling for the first time, I didn’t feel particularly reassured or supported by the guides, which made the experience more stressful than enjoyable. Overall, I could have overlooked some of these issues if the tour had been reasonably priced—but given how expensive it was, it simply didn’t feel worth it. There are plenty of other companies in the area that likely offer a more thoughtful and enjoyable experience, so I’d strongly suggest looking elsewhere and booking in advance. Unfortunately, with this company, you really do feel like just a number.

• Highly Recommend!

  Awesome experience. Was a really lovely day when we went (luckily). The tour guides (Shaun and Vicky) were very knowledgeable, fun and friendly and seemed to really enjoy their jobs! Everything was well explained (how to operate a Snorkel etc) and they gave us some insight into the reefs and the history of the Whitsundays. The tour was perfectly put together, snorkel spots were awesome and a perfect length of time at them. At Whitehaven, it was a perfect mix of freedom and safety. The boat ride was a lot of fun: because it was quite windy the boat jumped up quite a lot which really added to the experience (Shaun called it ‘adventure tourism’) The food was genuinely pretty good and they also served some nice snacks. The weather was great for us, but be wary because the weather can be pretty hit and miss, especially during the wet season. Definitely recommend this as we really enjoyed our tour!
