We had great experiences with Zigzag. The staff were super patient and friendly. I feel the itinerary was well planned as it is not too slow nor too stressful. Food was pretty good, as good as it gets on a boat tour. I really liked snorkeling location. Reef were colorful and not bleached. And the location was not crowded.

However, if you are coming during low season, be aware of their last minute cancellation with low numbers. We didn’t experience that but I can relate to the frustration when that happens. Saw quite a few reviews mentioned that.

This was the perfect tour for our family. By joining two different snorkel sessions, we were able to take turns snorkeling and watching the children play on the beautiful beach, with an air-conditioned lunch break in between. The tour had a great size with about 80 guests on board, allowing us to get to know other families. Transfers between the boat and the beach were quick and easy. The food and drink selection on board were great, while water and restrooms were available on the beach. The whole crew was professional and friendly - you can really feel that Zigzag is a family-owned operator. Highly recommended to families!

We had an amazing day yesterday with ZigZag Whitsundays!
With our 4YO son the boat was perfect. There where games on board and a snack in between. The ride was very smooth and we could depart earlier.
The time on the beach was amazing! The silicon like sand was so soft. We build a lot of sandcastles and swam in the ocean.
The snorkling tour was gorgeous, we would totally recommend it. The variety of fish, the coral and we even saw a turte! We where a bit sad that the rent of a gopro (with another company) didn't work out, so we could show the underwaterworld to our friends.
The crew on board where very professional and friendly.
Would definitly recommend!

We did the Whitehaven south tour with 2 kids and had a ball. The boat was awesome, staff bent over backwards to help, lunch was decent (wraps/salads). The transit between beach and the main boat at any time was great. Only small thing that could be added would be portable sun shades. Some other companies allow hire of them. Still give it a 5 star, particularly good for the kids.

We are a family of five with children aged 3, 5 and 6, and we have now been on Zig Zag twice and cannot wait to go again.

The boat is enclosed, which is ideal for little ones who like to move about. There are comfortable seating areas with tables, perfect for playing games or doing activities while cruising.

The food was delicious and plentiful. The buns and wraps were great for the kids, and the salads were a lovely addition for the adults. The drinks selection was fantastic, and the cocktail slushies were definitely a highlight.

I love the flexibility of this trip, especially the option to snorkel or simply relax. On many other day trips, those not snorkeling end up waiting around, but here we spent the whole day enjoying the beach instead. We set up a cabana, made the most of the beach toys provided, and even did the scenic bush walk, which the kids managed easily.

Highly recommend this charter. An absolute A plus experience.

Zig Zag are absolutely AMAZING!!! Our family had the BEST day!!! The lunch was really yummy!!! They provide wetsuits/ goggles/ snorkel/ pool noodles and even life jackets if needed. We got to swim on the coral reef and saw many XL turtles!! This tour was definitely the highlight of our holiday!! The Zig Zag team were all really helpful and friendly!! The boat is also amazing with sun decks and large tables. Loads of room and really clean and new!! I highly recommended this tour with Zig Zag!!

Had an amazing trip! The crew were great, super friendly and helpful. Snacks on board were perfect. Went to Whitehaven Beach, where we walked to the lookout point. Also had a great snorkel on the reef with the water being quite warm! Honestly, couldn’t recommend this tour enough!

Had the best day out in the Whitsundays with ZigZag! The crew was lovely, and they truly do their best to give you an amazing and memorable experience. I love that you can choose whether to spend the whole day at the beach, or on the boat, or go snorkeling too! We chose the beach + snorkel bundle and as we had some spare time after snorkeling we were able to go down to the beach for some extra beach time! No time wasted at all!
They're also very knowledgeable, the captain will point out landmarks and teach you bout the reef itself too and how important it is for the environment. The way to and from the Islands are also different, so you'll see different things each way!
As a vegan, I also appreciated the availability of vegan options for lunch!

Bottom line, super friendly crew, great day out at the beach with guided walk to a lookout, beautiful snorkel spot with countless fish, coral, and whatever else lives in there😅, and memories for a lifetime! Will recommend ZigZag any day!
