Great day

Do not use Viator or this tour
Chloe_B

We booked this experience which was misleading on the price ($109 vs $156 charged), the food was terrible and the overall day horrendous. The boat ride over was so scary that we didn’t want to get back on
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Wow! while we understand this may have not been the tour for you, (as you stated to our crew before you got on the boat) it is extremely disappointing that you would leave such a negative review without even contacting us.
Before I reply to the points in your review, I want anyone who reads this to understand our heart and soul go into this business and we live it 24/7. Our only goal is to bring back happy customers and show them the best time visiting the stunning Whitsunday Islands and this shows in 99% of all our reviews.
When we receive a review like this, it not only hurts us personally but also negatively impacts our rankings and bookings. I have spent the best part of today interviewing the crew (who are in disbelief with your review after being with you all day on the 15th of June) as well as checking our marketing material on Viator to make sure we have not dropped the ball on anything.
Review response (factual)
Misleading Price - Our Book early and save price on Viator is $156 (AUD). There is no misleading price. You viewed and booked through a device that was showing you a price in your own currency USD, POUND, EURO, etc.
The Food - I’m sorry you didn’t like the food and I’m not sure what you were expecting. Catering for our tour is done by the owner’s mum Jude, who gets awesome reviews every trip.
Overall Day Was Horrendous - you don’t get to say that as it’s just not correct, from what I can see on the day's photos and what the crew tell me, you seem to be having a good time snorkelling, paddle boarding and on the beach.
The Boat Ride - When you first got on the boat, you stated to our crew “we should have checked the boat before booking”. The boat ride on that day was under 20 knots of wind and was not a rough day. The problem is you didn’t want an open-aired boat you wanted a Ferry ride as you stated to the crew at Whitehaven Beach when you saw the Cruise Whitsundays Ferry.
In summary - you booked the wrong boat for what you wanted even tho there are plenty of pictures on Viator of the boat.
You didn’t realise the price displayed was in another currency and you had to pay AUD for the tour in Australia
You say the day was horrendous, but none of the crew or pictures see you having a horrendous day.
The food was not to your taste, however, please note that a full menu is available on our website. This includes every ingredient for people with allergies.
We can only advertise the correct price and exactly what our tour does and what you get on the tour. The rest is up to you to read this information and view the displayed pictures and make an informed decision for yourself. As a high-standard tour operator, we urge you to read and view what you are booking. Operators try their hardest to avoid reviews like this by advertising clearly what their tour or activity does, and capturing the correct market for their product. The rest is up to you. We wish you all the best for the rest of your travels around Australia and hope you can reconsider your above review to be a fair representation of your day out with us.
Not worth the money!

Our all girl crew to Whitehaven beach were amazing!! Super helpful and friendly. We had an awesome day at the best spot at Whitehaven beach followed by snorkelling the reef. The staff were able to tell us where to snorkel to spot the best fish and turtles. Shoutout to the skipper Fi with her kick ass boat handling skills. So much fun haha!
Will definitely use Zig Zag again !

An amazing day out with the crew on ZigZag. Apart from the swimming and snorkeling, the boat ride was the highlight. Super experienced captain saw us zigzagging through the waves. Bad pun intended! We went with a family of 5, inc boys aged 7-10, and all had the best time. The only tip would be to make sure you have a big breakfast and bring some snacks as it's a long day out. Highly recommended

This was one of the best tours I‘ve ever been on. The crew was fantastic. Professional and with a good sense of humour.
It was a perfect combination of all the great things to see in the Whitsundays. Nothing felt rushed and the group size was small too. I would always do it again.
Snorkelling & Whitehaven Beach

The team at ZigZag really made yesterday an enjoyable day. They’re easy to talk to & give you a good laugh. Ample food was provided & good tunes too. The team was really informative but made it easy to have a laugh throughout the whole experience. Would definitely recommend!
Nothing can stop us

Despite battling crazy weather, strong winds and big swell seas, the team were incredibly comforting, supportive and fun! Hands down best skipper I’ve ever been on a boat with ☺️
Also provided great food and snacks!

From the time we left the shore we started having a funfilled day. The crew were delightful,well informed and kept the day light hearted.
Snorkelling, jet boat riding, hiking and cocktails with the beautiful whitsunday islands in the background. Couldnt have askdd for a more enjoyable day.
Must do tour.

We had the best time. I’ve done quite a few boat tours around the world and this one by far was the best. I liked that we weren’t on the boat longer then a half hr at a time. More time was spent snorkeling, swimming at Whitehaven beach and exploring Palm Bay resort. A Yummy lunch was provided with hearty portions and seconds available if desired. The female Maori tour guide was great too- Funny, informative but knew when to give us our space to explore and do our own thing. I wish I could remember her name. This tour was the highlight of our trip to the Whitsundays.
Amazing! Highlight of the trip!

Spending the day at whitsunday beach and then snorkeling was amazing and by topping the day off at the resort by the pool with some cocktails really was the cherry on top

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
