The staff were very welcoming at the meeting point and then again on entering the boat, great safety brief and plan for the trip given by Jess.
My son and I did the Whitehaven beach trip on the morning this was lead by Zoe who was very friendly and informative and offered her assistance for taking peoples photos on the lookout point and the beach.
Returned to the boat for lunch which catered tor everyone, I’m a fussy eater and only had 2 cheese buns, when talking to Jess when we were on the top deck we spoke about my fussy eating and Jess came back with another cheese bun for me without my asking which goes to show they really do care and go the extra mile to ensure the best experience after lunch we went to Whitehaven beach to snorkel, again excellent information in the safety brief by James and he spoke to us at length about the area.
Returned back to the boat to return to Airlie beach and got the debrief off Jess.
All the staff were brilliant but Jess and Zoe really are a credit to this business and I couldn’t rate them both highly enough.
Definitely would rebook this trip and would hope for the same staff. The engineer came over to where we were sat and spoke to us, almost every member of staff interacted with us during the trip.
1st class trip well done to you all and thanks to you all for making the day memorable.

Thanks ZigZag team for a fun tour of the islands. Beautiful spots to visit for snorkelling and views. One bit of feedback is if it’s expected everyone remain in the seats they chose from the get go, might be worth making that clear so people don’t get disappointed when returning to the boat. Other than that, great day out & fun way to see the sights. Shout out to Alex and Matty (on the transfer boats to the beach) - genuinely caring for each patron! Thanks Zig Zag team.

It is an amazing trip. The staff's knowledge of the Whitsundays is extensive and you won't find the journey boring. The island is not over-exploited and you can completely relax here.
Every staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive to every detail. Their professionalism and kindness made my stay truly enjoyable.

Loved. the. crew! Such nice people, felt very welcomed & taken care of. Great sense of humor. Also the deck is so great and relaxing and you never feel rushed. Had a wonderful time, even saw a turtle which was my personal highlight.

Amazing day with the Zigzag team exploring the Whitsundays. Such a professional and experienced team. The trip was really well organised and managed so everyone got to do plenty of everything they wanted to. I particularly enjoyed listening to the captain’s stories about the islands and the region. Snorkeling was brilliant- we swam with turtles and so many very colourful fish. Food and drink options were plentiful and good value. Would hesitate to recommend this excellent, full day trip. Thanks Kate and everyone.

We went with our two children and we found the overall experience extremely family friendly. It was incredible to see how helpful every single member of the crew was. It was the little things, like offering to help when boarding or disembarking or making sure everyone was comfortable. They had this knack for foreseeing the needs of people on the boat and just timing their service and questions perfectly. Food was also very good.

The tour itself was great, boat was super comfortable, bathrooms were spotless, great insights by the captain and very knowledgeable about the area.

We paired this with a flight package offered by a different company and we recommend both. However, if you are looking to book the boat cruise book this one. It's perfect.

What a wonderful day out!From start to finish, we were superbly looked after by the team. The boat was roomy and comfortable, with lots of seating to view the islands. The skipper was extremely informative, giving us incredibly detailed information about the Whitsunday Islands that we passed. All the crew were friendly and eager to help in any way.Jess guided a great bush walk, pointing out a goana, skink, green ants’ nest, sun bird’s nest and lots of different spiders!Lunch was delicious and the snorkelling superb.Overall, a fabulous way to spend a day.

The tour with ZigZag was fantastic. Well organised, small group tour, personalised attention, perfect locations and very friendly staff. much better than large impersonal tours...

I loved the vibes from the three ladies that were our guides that day. They put music on the boat and make it fun during the boat ride. They provide snacks and lunch.
One of the guides was kind enough to take pics of me as I was travelling solo

Thank you

Enjoyed our Day very much despite the rain! Snorkeling was amazing! The staff on the Zigzag boat were all so great! Friendly, helpful, happy group of young people that obviously love their jobs. Lunch and snacks was also good. Thanks from 4 satisfied Canadians!
