11/10 recommend over the other companies!! My partner and I recently returned back to Whitsundays and we decided to try out one of the commercial tour companies (as we already did ZigZag on our last trip). And we wholeheartedly regret not doing ZigZag again… the Zig Zag team was so fun, they go faster on the water, and were so informative throughout the entire trip. We didn’t feel rushed for time at all / was not crowded. And they take photos of you during the day, which I found to be awesome! It was an experience we are never going to forget. Thank you so much to the team. And we promise we will come back next time.

Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Airlie / the Whitsundays. All the staff were so friendly and told us facts about the islands while on the boat tour . Had the best day snorkelling over the reef and we were lucky to see and swim with turtles. Lunch on the Whitsundays was nice and fresh. Would say the day tour is defo suitable for all ages as we had a mixed group and it was great. Thanks ZigZag !

Fiona, Luke and Angus, Great crew great day! Definitely recommend to anybody looking at a boat tour! Remember your sun cream!
Nous sommes en famille de 4 avec deux enfants de 6 et 8 ans et navons découvert cette compagnie avec bookme. Nous avons adoré la promenade en bateau (aucun mal de coeur même si ma fille a le mal des transports), l'équipage (merci Jenna !!!) et pour leur organisation. Une magnifique journée de snorkling, de marche et de plage grâce à eux!
Trotz schlechtem Wetter eine super Erfahrung. Tourguides sehr nett und genial drauf mit guter Musik als Begleitung während der Fahrt. Haben beim Tauchen eine Schildkröte gesehen, dazu noch Snacks aufm boot und ein deftiges Mittagessen. Am besten wahr das Heizen über die großen Wellen mit dem Speedboat. Wirklich nur zu empfehlen!

Amazing tour! Two incredible locations, snorkeling at Chalkies beach was great because we were able to go in off the beach which was nice. There were plenty of beautiful fish within meters of the shore along with lots of colourful coral. I lucked out and saw a gorgeous stingray! Then we went to Whitehaven beach which is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen! The white silica sand is amazing. We did a walk up to the lookout with one of our lovely deck hands and she gave us the lowdown on everything we saw. She pointed out spiders we wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. The viewpoint is spectacular! The boat ride was very, very bumpy, but I felt safe because the crew were so good and seemed super relaxed even though the boat was slamming into the water. It was a super windy day (today the water is more like glass…). Lunch was good. I highly recommend this tour, the Whitsundays are a must not miss when visiting Australia and this company was top notch!
Awesome day!! Wonderful activities and locations with super nice, helpful and fun crew. Lunch and snacks were also amazing. A great taste of Whitsundays. Definitely worth it 👍🥰

Absolutely amazing day with Zig Zag tours. The crew were all so friendly and helpful, food was great and all equipment was provided. We couldn’t go snorkeling due to the weather but we still had a great day and another activity was provided instead. The boat ride was so much fun.

We had an amazing experience with zigzag. The crew is really nice, funny and organized and they’re always glad to teach you about the animals, the islands or the history of the region. The snorkeling spot and the beaches were stunning and the two walks leading to lookouts were really worth it. Would definitely recommend!

Unsere ZigZag-Tour zu den Whitsundays verdient von uns 5 Sterne. Unsere Guides JJ und Angus haben einen top Job gemacht. Alles verlief reibungslos wie am Schnürchen. Verpflegung und Aktivitäten waren klasse, nur das Wetter hätte besser sein können. Als wir im strömenden Regen zurückfuhren, spielte der Captain so passende Musik, dass trotz des schlechten Wetters alle gute Laune hatten. Besser geht es einfach nicht.
