Tour and Boat Detailed Information:

ZigZag is a true Full-Day Tour that meets at 8 a.m. and returns at 4 p.m. The fastest boat in the Whitsundays means more time at the islands and destinations and less time on the boat.

The Boat - ZigZag is a 39-foot Naiad boat with high-back seats for a comfortable ride! This vessel is extremely comfortable, allowing guests of all ages and adventure levels to take part.

We limit the number of guests to just 30, making sure you get the small-group experience.

Whitehaven Beach - Spend up to 2 hours at Whitehaven Beach, including the New South Whitehaven Lookout, which opened in July 2019. While at Whitehaven Beach, you can walk to the brand-new Lookout that overlooks Whitehaven Beach and has 120-degree views of the Whitsunday Islands. This new Lookout is breathtaking and has to be seen to be believed. The walk is 1km each way and requires a medium fitness level. If you wish not to partake in the lookout walk, you can stay on the beach and explore or sunbake.

After the walk, a buffet lunch will be served on the beach.

Snorkelling - If you like snorkelling and want to see the beautiful coral of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, this tour is for you. Our qualified crew choose the best locations that suit the conditions. This location can include Chalkies Bay, Blue Pearl Bay, Luncheon Bay, Border Island, and a secret bay where we can keep quiet (you will see why). These tropical waters are filled with tropical fish and turtles year-round! The islands shelter these reef areas and have an extensive, diverse range of stunning colours and abundant sea life.

Chalkies Beach and Haslewood Island Lookout -with the same sand as Whitehaven Beach and a lookout over coral reefs, this is a popular stop away from any crowds

The Crew—The ZigZag crew is well known as the friendliest tour guides in the Whitsundays. Just check our 1500+ reviews below. The crew is all trained to the highest environmental standards by the company's owner, who is a marine biologisttrained right here on the Great Barrier Reef.

Whale Season is from July to October, and you have a good chance of seeing whales during these months.

Meeting point: Please make your own way to the marina. You need to be at Coral Sea Marina northern end roundabout meeting point B at 8:00 am

Whitehaven beach

Did same tour 5 years ago. Was disappointed this time. Only one snorkeling stop, not 2. Last time we also did a deep water experience, seeing more large fish. This time was only snorkeling off the beach. Staff were friendly but very regimented. We also stopped at a second island resort last time, which we didn’t do this time. There was more free time spent at Whitehaven beach where we just sat or walked along the beach. Still enjoyed the day , but less value for money.

Snorkeling experience

The boat left us on the beach and had to return even though we were sitting in front of where they were anchored. The comment when we were boarding was “did you fall asleep “. I thought lucky we weren’t still in the ocean. Why wasn’t there a head count. I am 60 and no-one helped with lugging wetsuits and snorkelling gear up the ramp just asked can you rinse it out before you come on board. A very ordinary lunch….this tour should be advertised as a budget experience. Upside beautiful barrier reef snorkelling

Cool Experience

The guides were really nice and funny and it felt like we flew over the waves. Snorkeling was also beautiful. Overall it was a cool experience and I would do it again.
