Reviews
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!
From the first point of contact, they were incredible to deal with. I am almost 30 weeks pregnant and we had been struggling to find a tour that would take me on board. After enquiring (quite late too - well after usual business hours), Nathan emailed back within 10minutes to let us know that Zig Zag could make it happen. In addition to this I forgot to add a code to the booking when purchasing and he kindly still offered to honour this - even though they would’ve been totally in their rights not to. This type of service and experience continued through to the day of the tour itself and really emphasises what type of company Zig Zag is - a wonderful one that is all about customer experience!
The staff were so much fun, knowledgeable about the Whitsunday area/islands and the reef we snorkelled. The boat was super spacious and comfortable, and the food was plentiful and tasty.
The trip was also incredibly well organised - everything seemed so seamless with no issues or long wait times. We got dropped off at the beach by a smaller boat in the morning, went for a guided walk to the lookout, then still had plenty of time to swim and enjoy the beach. We then took the same smaller boat back to the main boat for lunch before it was time to snorkel in the afternoon.
We are so glad that we ended up doing the trip with you guys - can’t wait to return one day!
Thanks again to all the crew, best trip!
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 captain
Things 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.
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!
Absolutely loved it. 21/03/25
The 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
