Great family day out!

A great experience! We took 2 young kids with us. We did the snorkelling in the morning and beach in the afternoon. Without the snorkelling it would have been a long day just on the beach with the kids. Although the beach is beautiful! Our kids aren’t used to the beach and didn’t love the sand! The team were great with the kids and very approachable! Overall it was great value for money and a good sized group for the day!

Zig zagging to Whitehaven Beach!

Very organised, small, family run business. Friendly, professional staff, especially the female USA members of the crew. My kids and I felt very safe and well looked after the entire day, including when snorkellingin the water near Chalkies Reef/beach. The reef wildlife underwater was extraordinary. My kids and I were flabbergasted by the beauty of the coral reef and fishes too. Lots of delicious fresh food and ice cold water throughout the day. The locations are stunning! Must do the walk to top of Whitsunday National Park for incredible view. The best day out! Would book with Zig Zag again in a heartbeat. Thank you crew for the best day out. Highly recommended! *****

Whitehaven Beach Magic, well worth it, amazing trip

Fantastic private company (family) business and they look after you very well all day, nothing too much trouble. The main boat is well decked out with front lounge and sun chairs outside or you can be comfortable inside, good morning and afternoon tea and lunch on board. Small boat to whitehaven beach is fantastic very easy for all ages and Whitehaven always amazing, to walk, swim or sight see. Well Done

Operator response

Thanks for the brilliant review! Rapt the family touch came through, looking after everyone is what we're all about. Glad you made the most of the boat too, whether out front in the sun or comfy inside. You've nailed it on the beach transfer, it really does make Whitehaven easy for all ages. Cheers for the kind words, come see us again one day! Nath J | ZigZag Whitsundays

Great from Start to Finish

Just a great experience from start to finish, the staff were friendly and helpful, requests done with pleasure. Trip is well organised, giving many options along the way and Whitehaven just brilliant. Trip good for people who want the experience, comfort, ease and good service. Food is plentiful for around 60 people. Fully recommend. Supporting family run business in Airlie, do it.

Operator response

Thanks again for the brilliant review! Rapt it was great from start to finish, and that the comfort, ease and good service all hit the mark. Whitehaven never disappoints, does it. Lovely to hear you championing the family run side of things too, that means a lot to us. Cheers for the full recommendation, hope to welcome you back one day! Nath J | ZigZag Whitsundays
