Top nice cruise among the WhitSunday irlands, on a fast and capable boat with a top pro crew. All crew did a super good job, especially the top cool captain - she really knows how to ZigZag 😎

The tour was so amazing and so exciting! My parents and I were really enjoying it and wanted to do it again. The captain's sailing skill is great, and has big passion on it. He made sure we were all looked after and also had a big fun time. The other two staff were so friendly and so helpful, the gentleman helped us to get back to the ship to get two more lifejacket for my parents when we were snorkeling, they were so patient and took care of everyone. The tour was very informative and well organised. The food was very yummy. We had a wonderful time with them!

Yesterday, three of us went on a boat trip to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and we happened to choose Zigzag – which turned out to be the perfect choice!The crew was absolutely amazing: professional, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. Everything was well-organized down to the smallest details, and it was clear their goal was for us to enjoy every moment.The experience felt very personal and intimate, thanks to the small size of the boat and the limited number of people on board. This gave us a chance to relax, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and connect with everyone around us.On top of that, the wonderful crew surprised my friend with a birthday celebration, making the day even more special!We had the perfect day, full of great vibes and stunning views. I highly recommend them, and I want to extend a huge thank you to the amazing crew for making it unforgettable!

We had a blast on the one day trip with Leslie, Casey and Angus. Not only did we have a great time enjoying the trip in general with snorkeling and walks - we were especially amazed by the passion and knowledge that the crew showed. Not a single one of our many questions went unanswered! Wonderful way of ticking an item off the bucket list and also doing so in supporting a smaller one fleet crew which helps conserve the great barrier rief with great passion.

We had an amazing day with ZigZag tours at the Whitsundays! Casey, Lexie, and Angus took fantastic care of us, ensuring everything was thoughtfully planned — from a thrilling boat ride with great music to snorkeling with GoPro shots, plus beautiful bushwalks. It was a lot of fun and i'd totally do it over again!
