Overall the entire experience was great. There were more than enough experienced staff on the boat, they were all friendly and approachable. We departed and returned on time. The food provided was fresh and there was more than enough for everyone. The boat was clean and presented nicely, it didn’t feel over crowded. When snorkelling we felt safe with 3 staff watching us. We swam with fish and a large turtle. The captain was friendly and charming with his over the speaker chats. The snorkeling equipment was clean and well presented. The staff worked really well together to guide the entire day. Whitehaven, the water, islands and nature were just beautiful.

Awesome day with the day trip and snorkelling tour!Good things:-Friendly helpful staff-Good fresh food buffe style-Nice snorkelling gear-Good music-Good speakers that you can hear what the captain is saying-Interesting information and history about the surrounding is provided from captainThings that could improve:-Our family was accidentally put in wrong group resulting in less time spent on beach-Sundeck on boat was not open during transport-The day felt quite rushed as the stop on Whitehaven Beach and the snorkelling was quite short but I guess that's what happens if you want to do both.We loved the snorkelling beach and more time there would have been great. Maybe lunch there could be possible?Very happy with the day.

Just got back from a wonderful day trip to Whitehaven Beach with my partner. All of the crew were great and really enjoyed interacting with the passengers and were very professional in their duties. The trip was smooth and the captain gave a very informative commentary throughout the cruise. The guided tour to the lookout was a nice walk through the island vegetation. We were well catered for on the beach and the ship. Plentiful yummy food and well appointed amenities. The weather was perfect for our trip and the crew were there to help with transport and general information. Highly recommended if you want a top notch Whitehaven Beach experience.

We had the most amazing day out on the water! From the moment we stepped aboard, Angus and his team made us feel welcome, safe, and excited for the adventure ahead. The boat was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable and fun day.The snorkelling spots we visited were absolutely stunning—crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and an abundance of colorful marine life. It felt like swimming in a real-life aquarium!What truly made the day special was the warm and friendly atmosphere created by the crew. They shared interesting facts about the area, kept us entertained between stops, and provided delicious lunch, snacks and refreshments on board.This tour was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. A big thank you to the amazing Angus, Matt, Emily, Carla and others for giving us such a memorable experience—we’ll definitely be back!

My sister and I absolutely loved our all day tour with Zigzag Whitsundays. Jess and her crew went above and beyond ensure our day went smoothly. The entire crew was super friendly and accommodating throughout. We did a small hike and got to spend time at whitehaven beach which was beautiful. The highlight for us was the snorkeling which was spectacular and one of the best experiences we’ve had. Highly recommended zigzag tours to anyone looking to spend the day and explore the Whitsundays!!

Did the Whitehaven snorkel and beach tour!Absolutely loved it. 21/03/25The Staff were great, full of knowledge and very helpful! Jess has great people skills and Matt puts a smile on your face.Gus went above and beyond even lending a guest (who left shoes on the main boat) his own crocs so the guest could participate in the look out walk tour! We had a great day exploring site seeing and snorkelling but the staff definitely make it. Certainly made you feel very welcome.Absolutely great value, the food was also very good. Lots of variety.Even lend you stinger suits, flippers and snorkel gear.Would do it all again.Thanks for a fab day

The staff were very welcoming at the meeting point and then again on entering the boat, great safety brief and plan for the trip given by Jess.My son and I did the Whitehaven beach trip on the morning this was lead by Zoe who was very friendly and informative and offered her assistance for taking peoples photos on the lookout point and the beach.Returned to the boat for lunch which catered tor everyone, I’m a fussy eater and only had 2 cheese buns, when talking to Jess when we were on the top deck we spoke about my fussy eating and Jess came back with another cheese bun for me without my asking which goes to show they really do care and go the extra mile to ensure the best experience after lunch we went to Whitehaven beach to snorkel, again excellent information in the safety brief by James and he spoke to us at length about the area.Returned back to the boat to return to Airlie beach and got the debrief off Jess.All the staff were brilliant but Jess and Zoe really are a credit to this business and I couldn’t rate them both highly enough.Definitely would rebook this trip and would hope for the same staff. The engineer came over to where we were sat and spoke to us, almost every member of staff interacted with us during the trip.1st class trip well done to you all and thanks to you all for making the day memorable.
