Reviews
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.
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!
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.
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!
