I’ve been on a few reef tours and zigzag is by far the best in terms of comfort, best planned day, and great crew. Tonnes of food which is great as I was worried because of my dietary requirements but there was no issue at all they even had my own labeled … More bags. Best reef spots to snorkel too -

What an amazing day with Max, Josh and Kayla!
They made the day so enjoyable.
We experienced sea turtles, the whitest sands and beautiful reefs. I would do this trip in a heartbeat. Being a smaller company and smaller groups you are treated more personally … More then just being customer. Highly recommend this over the bigger companies! -

This tour was perfect! I had the best snorkeling experience to date seeing various types of coral, fish and even a sleeping shark! Whitehaven beach was also great with its unique white sand. Capping it off with drinks at a Long Island resort was icing … More on the cake 🙂
All 3 tour guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and were more then happy to assist with questions or issues.
Tour easily deserves 5* and would confidently book with zigzag again. -

Fantastic experience, would 100% recommend (even better than The Great Barrier Reef if you’ve seen it before). Staff were very friendly, funny and helpful throughout the trip. Snorkelling spots were great and Whitehaven Beach is an experience above all … More else. Just bring your sunnies because the white sand is bright! Lunch on the beach was nice as was the walk to the lookout with spectacular views. Relaxation time at Palm Bay Resort was lovely, especially if you bought a cocktail. ZigZag have done a wonderful job building this experience and I would highly recommend choosing them for your tour of the Whitsunday Islands. -

Awesome day on the whole. Crew very dedicated to ensuring a good trip for all. Looking out for whales and stopping and anything else of interest enroute to White Haven beach and Long Island. Very informative of the surroundings as we passed by. … More Enjoyable lunch, morning and afternoon tea also offered. Amazing snorkeling time on coral reef before arriving at White Haven beach.Excellent driver of the boat who threw in a bit of zig zagging across the water giving enjoyable excitement and making for a real thrill.Well organised and the best aspect was the very personal touch of all the staff, could no fault them.Everything was clean and sanitised. -

The boat is so much fun! The tour operators were super sweet as well. You get a wet suit and a spray jacket but I would recommend also bringing a hoodie as it can get cold out of the water if you have windy weather. Definitely recommend. 😇 -

Our family had a fantastic and lovely day exploring the Whitsunday Islands with ZigZag Whitsundays. It was always dream of mine to visit Whitehaven Beach and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Crystal clear blue seas and pristine white sand. Walked up … More to the lookout and ate an early lunch which was provided and was excellent, fresh and filling.
We then proceeded to visit a small coral reef that was for my children a highlight as it was a new experience for them. They absolutely loved it.
We were then taken to Palm Bay Resort for drinks and to relax and was offered fresh fruit.
On the way back to Airlie Beach my children were granted the opportunity to steer the boat, another first for them and was much appreciated.
The group leading the tour had a good rapport which was evident by the interactions between themselves and with guests.
NB. We also realised that we left our beach towels behind at the resort and arrangements were made with the team to collect the towels the following day and we picked them up the following day. Exemplary service!
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed. -

Such a great day with ZigZag Whitsundays.
This was made better by the crew who led the tour. Their laid back approach and friendly, humorous attitude definitely gave our group the right energy going forward from the start. No hiccups, plenty of swimming/snorkelling … More and sun and relaxing. Can’t thank ZigZag enough for such a great day.
Smaller tour group with a max of 30 seats, a nice number so not to be surrounded by people all the time. We were lucky we had an easy group who were just wanting to enjoy the day.
Thanks again!! -

This tour was fabulous. The crew were amazing - friendly, helpful and fun. The boat was fast which added a bit of excitement to the day. Snorkelling the reef and seeing a green turtle is a memory we will hold forever. We loved that there were low numbers … More on the tour and it wasn’t rushed at all. Finishing the day with a cocktail by the pool at Palm Bay Resort was the perfect end to the day. Cannot recommend this tour enough! -

A fantastic experience - absolutely recommend this cruise! Sam and Georgia the crew were wonderful - knowledgeable and attentive, fun and terrific hosts. Max the Skipper - aka ‘Paul Walker’ knows how to drive a boat. A thrill ride to and from Chalkies … More and Whitehaven Beaches. Good snorkelling, turtle and dolphin sightings. Good food and snacks too. Brilliant value for money and the highlight of our trip so far. Sit up front if you like the roller coaster experience! Book the trip - you will not be disappointed! -

From the start this company had great customer service, with Nathan responding promptly to our emails and helping us last minute! All in all, Great day out on the water and lovely crew. Jordan particularly made the day more relaxed and you could tell … More the caption was trying to get us the best possible experience.The only downfalls is that this tour doesnt visit the main hill inlet and the vegetarian option for food just ended up being rice in a wrap with some salad on the side. Not the worst but it would be nice to have a little more option there.Besides that, the boat was fast and there was 3 different stops... we even got to snorkel with a turtle!We finished snorkelling early and decided to do the little lookout at this beach - this was a great choice as it was a beautiful view.Good compang. 4.5stars for me 😀 -

The staff were amazing, the boat ride was so much fun, and it was great seeing multiple beaches (including Whitehaven) as well as stopping off at a resort at the end. Would highly recommend. One note that … More is not a criticism of this tour, if you are after seeing spectacular snorkelling on the GBR, I would suggest a tour that goes to the outer reef instead. -

I recently went on a Zig Zag Whitsundays tour with my partner a couple of days ago. We both had the best time! The staff were very friendly and they all had great sense of humours. The day was planned out very well with snorkeling at the start and then … More relaxing for the rest of the day. They had great music on the boat and a tasty lunch on Whitehaven beach. We also loved that our cocktails were ready when we reached the last destination.Overall it was an amazing experience and we would recommend Zig Zag Whitsundays tour’s to all our friends and family. -

Loved this tour staff extremely helpful and friendly. The captain Max was relaxed and good fun. White haven beach really turns it on felt very privileged to have this amazing spot on our doorstep. Lunch was yummy cold salad and 3 kinds of meat with wraps … More or bread rolls, environmentally friendly only use things that are reusable good idea to bring your own water bottle,water is provided but with a cup plenty of food & more snacks throughout the day. Then on to snorkelling. I highly recommend you do this tour. -

Had such a great experience with Zigzag yesterday. My partner and I booked to go out snorkelling and island hopping for the full Whitsundays experience. Although the weather wasn’t amazing yesterday the team at Zigzag still made the experience absolutely … More amazing. The team were so genuine and accommodating for everyone. They took us out to an amazing spot to snorkel - we were able to see so many amazing fish, coral and clams. We then went to Whitehaven beach where the Zigzag team provided lunch for us and then to Palm Bay to finish. Our day was amazing and can’t recommend these guys enough. Thanks team - we had such a great day! -

This is one of the best boat tours I've ever had the privilege of being on. Fi, Becca, and Max are extremely caring, humorous, and gave us an wholesome experience. Max's sailing skills are also superb. The adrenaline rush was amazing. My cheeks … More hurt because I was smiling so much.You can tell that they are very passionate about their work. Look no further; go touring with Zigzag. -

This was such good value for money, I can’t recommend this enough! We had Max and Kelly and they were great hosts. A mixture of island sightseeing from the water, exploring Whitehaven Beach and snorkelling in a secluded place with some amazing coral and … More marine life. Great for people who haven’t done major snorkelling (good for us who only recreationally do it on holidays). They also had options for less confident swimmers too - very accommodating. The boat ride was very fun and entertaining and both hosts seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs 🙂 -

Great staff, my third day tour visiting Whitsunday islands - first time with zigzag. I really enjoyed the resort ending, the pool and cocktail was a great end to the day on a resort. Slightly disappointed there was only one snorkel site the whole day, … More the travel time to and from the resort eats into this opportunity. For those looking to exclusively snorkel and get into the water, I would pick a different operator. Check each itinerary and see what suits you 🙂 -

Lovely deckhands, a great vessel and good captain. We had a blast on zigzag with the kids today. It was top value and we thought it was easily the pick of the bunch for a day trip. Love the 1200 HP roller coaster at the end too. What a machine. Totally … More recommended. -

One of the best day trips we’ve done as a family.So fun, but safe and professional.The team (Fiona and Max) were perfect hosts.The boat was clean and well maintained.The locations were varied, and all were spectacular. We didn’t feel rushed.Snorkelling … More equipment was clean and in good condition.The snorkel site was THE best I’ve ever been to.Lunch and snacks were yummy, fresh and nutritious.Whitehaven was spectacular and a bonus was seeing a turtle surface for ages, just as we were leaving.We loved the drinks stop at the end of the day at Palm Bay, Long Island.The jet boating was a pleasant surprise to the whole family. I think we made Max’s day with our screaming.Worth every cent. We loved our day. -

Incredible service!ZigZag was really good value for the service provided. The crew were very friendly and helpful with added humour that made it all the more fun. The lunch provided was very good - there was a variety of healthy foods and plenty for seconds.The … More boat rides were fast and exhilarating just as advertised and Max the skipper was having a blast taking us for a high-powered spin off the coast.They provided all the snorkelling gear, no need to pay extra for hire which was fantastic.They know the area very well, providing us with facts about all of the islands and surrounding areas, turning my holiday into a learning experience.I would recommend ZigZag to anyone looking for a fun day around the Whitsundays! -

This was an amazing experience. My family and I (5 in total) did the zigzag tour and was constantly amazed and in awe. The tour guides are excellent and Will ( one of the guides ) has an amazing understanding and a deep love for the ocean and reef. He’s … More full of jokes and has answers for all your fish/ocean related questions. The the captain was really good too and loves giving everyone a bit of an adrenaline rush by pushing the 4 x 300 hp engines.And we saw turtles! It was so amazing to swim with them!All in all it was a great day with my family that visited me from South Africa and we will definitely remember this day for years to come.Thank you ZigZag tours! -

Absolutely incredible day, Craig and the staff were just incredible, the spots they pick out for snorkeling are perfect and really allow you a fantastic reef experience, and the beaches are to die for. From the moment you step on the boat they make it … More fun, playing music and walking around really making an effort to chat to every individual guest, give you lots of awesome info about the area and islands, and just hang out and get to know you! Whitehaven beach is just gorgeous, and you get to spend some good time there and have lunch and relax, which is a real treat. For anyone who wanted, they took a group up to a lookout point with amazing views, and for anyone who didn't, they made sure you were comfortable and happy hanging on the beach, swimming, etc. The last stop was a real treat- a resort on Long Island, with a gorgeous salt water pool and little waterfall, a bar, and they provide some fruit and cookies for a treat. For the price, I can't imagine a better day or a better deal, to be honest I can't believe they don't charge more for how amazing it is! The boat is just rows of seats, but it's very comfortable and it's super fast, so you get to go really far out really quickly, so you see so much more. Could not recommend this tour more, or this company. If you're in Airlie beach - DO NOT MISS THIS!!!! Worth every penny and more!
