5.00We had a fantastic time because of all of the hardworking and friendly staff on the day. Amazing snorkelling spot, great food and atmosphere on the boat and good knowledge about Whitehaven beach and where all the best spots where. 10/10, will be recommending all of my family and friends use zigzag for their tours!
A great day out with the family in the Whitsundays

5.00It was a really good day out- the crew were relaxed and friendly, the food was better and more abundant than expected. The lounge chairs they put out in the front deck were wonderful. They took good care and responsibility of their guests at the beach and the snorkel activity. Would definitely recommend.

5.00Fantastic day out! Loved this tour and highly recommend. All the staff are super friendly. The boat is great; seats and tables so it’s easy to keep occupied during the trip and everyone can sit at a table for lunch. Food was excellent with choices for everyone. I bought a coffee on board and it was excellent. Alcohol is also available after midday. My knees are a bit dodgy so I was really happy that the boat to get you from the main boat to the beach didn’t require ladders or giant steps. Made it easy and comfortable. Goes without saying that Whitehaven is as good as it looks! I didn’t go up to the lookout but people who did said it’s well worthwhile. Snorkelling was fabulous. Visibility wasn’t great but we did see either a few turtles or the same turtle several times :-). Lots of different types of fish and coral. Definitely recommend taking this trip and if you look at their website you’ll find a combo flight deal (that I wish I’d seen before I booked!). Like hotels, pays to go direct to their website for deals!!! Enjoy it!
Fabulous Day!

5.00Picture perfect day! Fabulous boat, delish meals & snacks, and exemplary crew! They couldn’t have been more friendly or attentive. The snorkeling excursion was well organized and good equipment/stinger suits. The beach is truly as beautiful as rated! Highly recommend this excursion and this awesome crew!
