My boyfriend and I had a snorkel tour today with Zig Zag. Had little expectations because we'd heard that Whitsundays... read more might be murky and it was cloudy in the morning. Omg literally the best trip/tour we've ever done. The crew were awesome, really positive, friendly, helpful and genuine (not some corporate money churner - seriously if you're going to do Whitsundays - support these guys!!). Boat was amazing, so comfy, didn't get sea sick at all. We're both vegan and they catere... d to our dietary requirements - again wasn't expecting much but the lunch was so delicious!!! The two snorkel spots were awesome too. We saw 3 humpback whales!!! We swam with a turtle and a small reef shark!!!! Saw loads of colourful fish. The taste in music being played was a bonus (not your standard charts pop crap) - made the experience so much better driving around listening to it. Skies brightened up and we had the best day. Honestly so thankful to the crew for the effort they put in with everyone, it's really amazing. Thanks so much Zig Zag!!!! If we ever come back to Whitsundays, we'll definitely do another tour with these guys. Would definitely recommend to everyone! read less

Amazing tour!! I highly recommend it to everyone! Very nice boat, the crew was really nice and good lunch too!... read more Whitsunday unforgettable!! 😊 read less

Fantastic time on the Whitehaven beach island tour and snorkelling. The food, the service by the Captain and staff... read more on board all amazing. The snorkel sites were breathtaking, as was Whitehaven beach. Thanks for making our trip to Airlie so memorable. Recommend all to do this tour. read less

Friendly staff who were very attentive. One of my boys and I were not sure about the boat ride, it... read more got a bit choppy out on the water but the staff were very compassionate and assured us all would be fine, and it was. Seeing the islands was fabulous. Seeing the whales in their natural environment was a bonus. Our family also enjoyed the snorkelling. Great family day out. Now my son is converted. He would go again. read less

This trip was non-stop fun. The highlight of my week in Airlie. We saw whales and a sea snake, heaps... read more of fish (some massive ones) snorkelling and some colourful coral. The boat ride was great, super speedy and smooth! read less

Corey The day out yesterday with ZigZag was unforgetable, as already mentioned by others we had our doubts but have already... read more recommended them to others that are looking for tours at our accomadation this morning. Could not of picked a more perfect day weatherwise and the staff went above and beyond when it came to looking after our kids, our 8yr old went off with confidence snorkling now bugging us when we are going next. Have been on the competition before and one stand out difference for me was following the coastlines closely as you get to appreciate them in detail instead of just making a bee line to the next stop, the trip is just as important not just the destination.Hope you guys do well in the future, all the best!!!! read less

10 our of 10 Almost didn’t book this tour as I was a little worried none of the travel agents advertised for them. We... read more booked on the zigzags website saved some dollars in doing this 4adults 5 kids ages 5years-14years. So glad we did this was such a great day, fantastic staff and really well organised. Would highly recommend anyone to book with them. Thank you for a lovely day. read less

Very knowledgeable crew and great fun. Brilliant day had - dolphins, turtles, mantas, whales and lots of other fish and... read more fun. Delighted with a smaller group. Very efficiently managed and great soundtrack for when spinning around. read less

Excellent tour of the Whitsundays We had a brilliant day with the fabulous team from ZigZag. I liked the staggered pricing where we got a... read more cheaper price for booking earlier. Though it was quite a windy day, sitting near the back of the boat meant that it was pretty smooth. We were prewarned and wore their storm jackets and warm clothes, so getting splashed didn't worry us at all. The crew were very diligent about finding a good spot to snorkel that wasn't too bumpy and had good visibility, so we just had one snorkel at a terrific site, and then plenty of opportunity to swim and snorkel again during the couple of hours on Whitehaven. Lunch was tasty cold meats, rolls and salads; morning tea some biscuits and cake, and we had some fruit at the Palm Beach Resort at Long Island on our return. The kids' highlight was the signature zig zag on leaving and entering port. If I had to add one thing to make the day more enjoyable, it would be thicker wetsuits (or added hire if you choose) as the water was quite cold so we couldn't snorkel for as long as we would have liked. Highly recommend. read less

Incredible time out on the water and saw many places throughout the day. We also saw Dolphins, Reef Fish and... read more beautiful Corals. The day is organised really well and the snorkeling was amazing. The staff were lovely and very attentive to everyone on the boat. The meal provided was great and catered for a variety of needs (we had a vegetarian and a vegan meal, but they also catered for gluten free as well). Would definitely go back again and I recommend it to anybody looking to experience the Whitsunday islands in a day read less

Pristine beaches and fantastic smiles!! Booking through their own website was quick and easy. We saved some dollars by booking through their site directly. The... read more confirmation emails provide clear instructions on where to go.We arrived on a chilly and overcast day but straight away the team greet you with great bug smiles and peppy conversation and this doesn't stop throughout the day!! The boat is clean and fast and teh full body wetsuits were a lifesaver. They took us to 2 different snorkelling spots and provided some history about the area at each one before we hopped into the water. There are plenty of fish in the sea 😉All of the gear that they provide is well maintained and well thought out - I love me a pool noodle in the ocean. As it was a bit chillos no one stayed in the water for too long but the crew made up for it by squeezing an extra stop at the lookout point where we could see all those beautiful white beaches.Then it was off to the world renowned Whitehaven Beach for a yummy lunch that catered to all our needs and more and some time out to ourselves to wander around, swim and chill. The ride back to to Aerlie is quick and we kept an eye out for whales.I would definitely do this exact same outing again with this crew!! read less

Awesome day out with zigzag My husband and 2 teenagers had an amazing day out with zigzags to white haven beach, would definitely recommend this company.

Thanks ! We had a great day with zigzag. Everyrhing was prefectly organised perfectly. Snorkeling was Great. Good food. Thanks to Ben

Amazing Snorkeling Experience On the 12/6/18 we went on the zigzag tour. The entire experience was amazing. Plenty of time at the two... read more snorkel spots, where green sea turtles and clownfish were just some of the marine life that we spotted. We also spent plenty of time at the two beach spots. We enjoyed a yummy lunch on Whitehaven Beach. The staff, Kayley, Ben and Jock were both friendly and helpful. They helped make the day for both myself and my parter even better by assisting us in hiring prescription googles before we left Airlie beach. 100% recommend going with ZigZag for a wonderful day out in the Whitsundays. read less

Wonderful trip. Great value! These guys are awesome. They put every bit of effort in providing a super cool experience for everyone on the... read more boat. Will is a funny guy and great entertainer :D. Will certainly recommend them to everyone who wants to have a great Whitsundays experience. You made my week guys! read less

Action packed Whit-FUN-day! Zigzag are one of the youngest and smallest tour operators in the region but you wouldn't know it. We took... read more a one day trip that included two snorkelling spots, some whale watching, Whitehaven beach and an afternoon beer at Palm Bay Resort. We found the organisation and the staff (Will, Kate and Tas) to be surprisingly professional and fun. Note that there is a cafe next to the morning meet up location where you can grab a quick coffee before heading out. Note too that it can get cold in the wind and sea spray, so bringing at least a light windbreaker would be a smart idea. read less

Awesome day out !! ZigZag took us on a very nice toor around Whitsundays islands. Stoped at a few key... read more spots for snorkeling...plus food was supplied out of the blue, a lovely surprise, leaving us extremely happy with the care and attention we received ! Crew were amazing and by the end we had a few doughy’s on the way back. read less

What a great day you put on for us - so many highlights, I haven’t laughed or said ‘wow’ that... read more many times in a day ... ever! Keep up the great work and all the best with your plans to expand the business in the future read less

Great crew (Kate, will and a guy with long hair driving the boat!), lovely energy, fun, relaxing, beautiful snorkelling and... read more beach opportunities. Really well executed and the right amount of time spent at each location. read less

Great value, great service! Our original tour cancelled last minute so we made a very last minute call to ZigZag. Their service was exceptional... read more from Nathan, who answered the phone, to Johnno, Matt and the girl whose name escapes us, who ran the tour. They made the day a whole lot of fun! There was heaps of food, and lots of interesting information. Thanks for saving the day guys, we can’t recommend you highly enough. read less

Excellent value for money! What a great winters day in The Whitsundays! This company is not marketed by agents in the street at Airlie... read more which allows them to keep their prices low. From our arrival at the marina to the final joy rides before entering the harbour, we were thoroughly entertained by Will and staff! The highlight of the day was having our driver pull the boat over to an amazingly large mantaray and watching a female crew member leap into the water beside it for some great footage! Two snorkelling spots meant that we got to experience the colourful reef as well as the opportunity to swim amongst the reef fish (big and small). If you fancy a soft drink during the day make sure you pack some and if travelling in winter ensure you pack a windcheater as the boat ride can be cool but you will be back in your togs on the beach! Whitehaven beach was amazing and having a cocktail at Palm Bay was the perfect end to an awesome day. Highly recommend! Thanks Zigzag!!! read less

Laughed and smiled all day We booked this as it's very budget friendly and got us exactly what we wanted - Whitehaven and snorkeling. The... read more boat ride out was a bit cold with spray but couldn't be helped. The first snorkel spot was great, good colour and seriously big fish. Whitehaven was heaven, sunbathing and a swim in crystal clear warm water,nothing but AMAZING! Second snorkel wasn't as good as the first. Nice touch with the resort bar at the end. Morning tea was a bit of store bought basic cake and bikkies. Lunch was wraps and rolls you make yourself and a great assortment of salads. Arvo tea was sliced fruit. I'm still a bit hungry as I write this so make sure you bring some snacks.Staff were very helpful with Will being the star, he was great. Hilarious and kept the tour and ride awesome! He was the best!! Did some little stunts in the boat that got everyone cheering and whooping - it was great fun.I'd do it again in a heart beat read less

Top Tour We we're going to do a sailing trip but went for this as we were short for time and this... read more was much cheaper. Did not not regret it. Boat was very fast and the skipper was great. Due to the speed, we got to the reef quick and saw plenty of islands and hit a couple of very good snorkeling spots on the reef. Stopped for lunch on Whitehaven beach which was incredible. They played some good tunes whilst flying over the waves and the crew were great fun. read less

Great value, fun crew Found ZigZag searching for tours in the Whitsundays, and I was not disappointed. Small, independent company, and it shows in... read more all the best ways. More affordable than other options, with a fun, scrappy crew overflowing with friendliness. Marine life in the Whitsundays isn't as spectacular as the Outer Reef up north, but that says nothing of the tour itself. Definitely recommended. read less

A Family group of 6 adults from 11hr away. We all found the whole experience fabulous. Several small things made... read more a big difference. Great mix of music while traveling. Extremely knowledge and helpful staff. Every type of passengers was looked after. And not made feel uncapable. Fantastic job keep it up read less

Wonderful experience with Will, Ellen and the very experienced skipper who steered the vessel through the waves at an amazing... read more speed, which was so much fun for everyone!The crew took care and engaged w/ everyone, talking, laughing, dancing which made the trip fun. Snorkeling spots were excellent, saw lots of fish at the 1st and corals in beautiful colours at the 2nd. The food deserves 5 stars by itself as the amazing salads for lunch are all homemade! We were unlucky with the weather and it was very windy, rainy and wet so I do recommend taking a warm jumper and rain coat aboard, you won’t regret it especially after 2 hours+ in the water it’s nice to have something warm and dry to wrap yourself into.Highly recommend, excellent trip and what a bargain - only paid $216 for two people (early bird rate i believe)! read less

Great day even with rain! We had a great day out with the zigzag team! This tour gives you more time in snorkeling locations and... read more Whitehaven Beach than other tours, and also has an extra stop at a resort. The boat is fast and fun and the crew all friendly and knowledgeable about all the different islands you see throughout the tour. The day we went was raining but we made the most of it and still had a great time, what better day to get in the water than when it’s raining! I just wish zigzag operated tours to other locations so we could go again! read less

Great day Wow what a great day.Great boat with a skipper that knew what he was doing. Crew was excellent. Food was... read more really nice. Plenty of adrenaline and good snorkeling. Good value for money.This is a must do read less

We had the best day! Can highly recommend Zigzag if you're wanting an awesome day snorkelling. Our hosts James, Ellen and skipper Johno were super... read more friendly, knowledgable and a heap of fun and they took us to the perfect spots to snorkel and swim in crystal water. They put on a tasty lunch on Whitehaven Beach, accompanied a group there to take a bush walk and made sure everyone was well looked after. The high speed boat got us to our snorkel destinations quickly and it was a whole lot of fun too. We didn't go hungry after lunch as there was afternoon tea and later fruit to keep us all going. It was a full day that was jam packed. Highly recommend. read less

Staff is super fun but good organized as well. Skipper is making his best to get the best out of... read more the very fast boat and turn it into a roller coaster. Crew knows where to go to for snorkeling as well as for nice beaches. All in all a perfect day and money well spent. read less

Fun filled day! Spent the day with ZigZag today! Such a fun filled awesome day! Enjoyed all our stops and hanging with the... read more friendly, fun crew! Food was so fresh - the homemade salads were AMAZING! Thanks guys read less

By far the best tour in Australia.

All throughout fabulous! Oh and did I mention its waste free? read less

Totally recommend!! Awesome experience and good prices too. Staff was friendly, funny and know their stuff. Will... read more definitely book with you guys again when visiting the Whitsundays! read less

Awesome day out with these guys!Will was the life of the party and kept everyone upbeat while we traveled to... read more the different locations.The two hostesses were also terrific and changed our music playlist to pun-filled music about the rain we had hit on our journey back.I picked these guys over all the other tours because they felt more like a fam then a commercial business and you guys are definitely on to a good thing with this...They also found us turtles to swim with! If I come back ill def jump back on board guys!Cheers for the awesome day!!! read less

Great day on the water! The crew were fun and engaging. The boat was super fast, made the experience so... read more much better, that and the fact that there were only 38 people. Seats were super comfy. Lunch on the beach was nice, despite not having enough food to account for those passengers who load up their plates like they're at a buffet with no consideration for those who still need to eat (extra food should be set aside to replenish once first wave goes through...just a thought). The resort at the end wasn't really a needed stop. I would say adding in one more snorkeling spot or more time on white haven beach would be more favoured than the resort stop. Overall, would recommend Zigzag over the other tour boats I saw. Great value too! Cheers! read less

Awesome day out. Saw lots and wasn't rushed. Crew were a quality pair and the skipper drove the boat like... read more he stole it. Which we all loved! Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a day trip in the Whitsundays! read less

The crew was awesome!! I had such a good time, with good music on board and a lot of fun.... read more We spent a good time on Whitehaven Beach it was just paradise. The best moments to me were the two snorkeling locations. We saw a lot of different fishes, the corals were awesome.. But the best was to be able to swim next to this giant 80 years old turtle.. I recommend to everyone to go on this day trip if you want to have a memorable day!! Thank you again! read less

So, I don’t normally do reviews, but...Our group of 6 friends had an amazing time with Will and the crew,... read more touring around Whitehaven beach and the Whitsunday islands, on a day cruise.The tour deserved at least one star for the epic speedboat - the fastest in the Whitsundays, the team are proud to say - which was expertly driven, with a few signature Zigzags and spins thrown in. Nothing too crazy, but lots of fun. It also only takes 20 or so people, so we never felt crowded.Plus... definitely another star for the amazing captain and crew, who were really friendly, helpful, and curated some epic music to provide the backdrop for the journeys from stop to stop.And...definitely an extra star for the stop at Whitehaven beach, with it’s stunning white sand, and also the really good snorkelling nearby. We saw a Remora fish, turtles, and loads of smaller fish and coral.The packed lunch deserves an extra star for sure, being a decent selection of meats, cheese and salads served in an individual chilly bin (per person).The cherry on the cake was a stop at a hidden island resort at the end, with well-mixed cocktails, a pool and free fresh fruit to munch on. Worth a cheeky star.All in all, this was the highlight of our four days in Airlie, and definitely deserves five stars. And did I mention the awesome crew? Thanks guys! read less

Really awesome day, can't recommend it enough! Fun and knowledgeable staff, the boat is quick and a blast to get... read more thrown around on, and a great selection of stops. 2 great snorkel spots where you can see the coral reef and fishies up close! Plus a lunch stopover at Whitehaven beach and a relaxing end at one of the small island resorts. The water is SO warm, you never want to leave. Well organized overall, all gear and necessities provided. My only complaint was the food/lunch was very basic, nothing more than a roll, few crackers, cheese/deli meat/potato salad/coleslaw/etc., but it didn't detract from the experience and enjoyment of the islands and coral reef. read less

Excellent value for money, staff were super friendly and the best snorkeling stop off's. Just the right amount of time... read more spent at each stop off and they packed a little lunch for each person. Had the best time and can't recommend them enough! Thanks ZigZag! read less

This is the second time we have visited the Whitsundays in three months and this was by far our favourite... read more tour! The fast boat means more time at your stop offs and the guides were really interactive and helpful. My mother and father in law are visiting Australia for the first time and are quite nervous about the water. They had never snorkelled and weren’t willing to get into the water but at the end of the day when asked what their highlight was they said ‘snorkelling!’ Great job guys we had a fantastic day! read less
