Airlie Beach Day Trips With ZigZag Whitsundays

Airlie Beach Day Trips are the perfect way to spend a tropical hot day in the Whitsundays. By far the most popular way to do this is by jumping on a boat and setting out to discover the remote Whitsunday Islands. While there are many tours to choose from, ZigZag Whitsundays stands out from the rest. Let us tell you why you should travel on our day tour.

The Boat – newly installed comfortable safety seats were installed in 2020 making the ride extremely comfortable. There is also a bathroom on the boat for your convenience.

Whitehaven Beach

Visiting time on Airlie Beach Day Trips for Whitehaven Beach is around 2 hours to discover the new south lookout and the beach in the Whitsundays Islands. This Beach is continually voted Australia’s number 1 beach in the TripAdvisor awards. The beach is 7 km long and holds some of the purest silica sand in the world totalling around 98.7%. ZigZag will make sure you get away from the daily crowds and have plenty of time to explore with family and friends. When the boat first pulls up to Whitehaven, you will be served a cold buffet lunch.

South Whitehaven Lookout

The new South Whitehaven Lookout opened in 2019.
In one direction you will see a spectacular view down the entire 7 km of Whitehaven Beach, and in the other direction, you will see the open ocean and islands leading back to the mainland.
The walk is around 45 mins return (including time at the top) and is beginner grade and you will need a level of low-medium fitness.
In my personal opinion, the South Lookout delivers more wow factor every day of the week while the Northern lookout highly depends on tides and is overcrowded

Snorkelling In The Whitsundays

Whether you have snorkelled before or this is your first time, the Whitsunday Islands are perfect for beginners and advanced alike. With the coral bays sheltered from wind and tide and most coral starting only meters from the beach, this is the ideal location for the whole family to see turtles and visit Nemo in a natural environment. On our Whitsundays Day Trip all the snorkelling equipment, including wet suits are provided along with flotation devices if needed. The qualified crew will watch over everyone on rescue boards so you can feel safe and enjoy the best coral and tropical fish the Whitsunday region has to offer.

Other Airlie Beach Day Trips You Should Book

 

The town itself is a great little town, but you will feel the need to get out and discover what tropical North Queensland has to offer when staying here for a few days. With not much action on the way of land tours, it seems natural to take to the warm ocean water and enjoy a day in the sun.
