5.00Though we didn’t make it out to Whitehaven, the team was fabulous. We made it half way and the decision to turn around due to conditions. Though we where disappointed about missing out we thank the Zig Zag team for taking care of us, and ensuring we got a small taste of the Whitsunday PS. we did get a full refund and talking to people on other tours, seems no other tour company does this.
Really good full day trip to Whitehaven beach.

5.00Really enjoyable full day trip. Excellent staff and all so friendly and knowledgeable. Very well organised and it was clear that the staff were passionate about their job and the surroundings. Snorkelling was such a memorable experience and we saw many fish on the reef with the highlight seeing a large Green Turtle. Whitehaven beach was stunning and probably the best beach I have ever walked along - so beautiful. We swam in stinger suits which were onboard and an excellent additional touch. Lunch was good with different choices. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.
Enjoyable experience that ticks off another bucket list item.

5.00We took ages to decide which trip to do and weren’t disappointed. A really well organised trip, lovely boat, friendly crew, tasty lunch and fantastic snorkelling and beaches. Probably the high light of our trip so far.
Excellent day trip to the most beautiful beach in Australia, great value for money!

5.00Well equipped, comfortable boat, very smooth in the water. No one got seasick! Plenty of seating in either the air-condition cabin or on one of the 2 sundecks (NB. The top deck is adults only - love kids but sometimes a little distance goes a long way! 😂) Fantastic snorkeling right off the beach with helpful experienced staff to guide and assist. Delicious buffet lunch as well as morning and afternoon tea included. The frozen cocktails go down a treat after a day on the beach! Time to spend at leisure on the stunning Whitehaven Beach as well as a guided walk up to the lookout. The staff on Zig Zag Whitsundays are the real gems, so friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble and always with a smile. They are professional and experienced with one goal - to give you the best possible experience for the day. Fantastic day! Highly recommend.
Great day out in the Whitsundays!

5.00Such a great day out on the water in the Whitsundays! Staff were amazing and very professional. Took my elderly Mum and 7 year old daughter and both had a great day. Great swimming and snorkelling locations. Very comfortable boats. Lunch, bar and coffee was fantastic. Definitely recommend!
