What you can expect

  • Snorkel a fringing coral reef and spend the rest of the day on Whitehaven Beach, or skip the snorkel and stay on the sand all day. Two tickets, two experiences, one boat. ZigZag is the only Whitsundays day tour where snorkellers and non-snorkellers travel together, so a non-swimmer can come with a snorkeller and a family with mixed-age children can travel as one group.

    Ticket 1: Whitehaven Beach + Snorkelling

    Guided 60-minute snorkel at a fringing reef with a marine-qualified safety guide
    Snorkel gear and stinger suit provided and sanitised
    Snorkellers transfer from Super Flyer to ZigZag's smaller fast boat for the reef session
    2+ hours on Whitehaven Beach plus the South Whitehaven Lookout walk
    Unlimited on-demand water taxi between Super Flyer and the beach, a Whitsundays first
    Buffet lunch and morning and afternoon snacks
    Suitable for children aged 4 and over
    Infants under 4 can join, but one parent snorkels at a time. The other stays with the infant on Super Flyer or at the beach
    Important: Beach time on this ticket is shorter than Ticket 2 because part of the day is at the reef

    Ticket 2: Whitehaven Beach All Day (No Snorkelling)

    4 to 5 hours on Whitehaven Beach, more beach time than any other tour
    Unlimited on-demand water taxi all day
    Guided 900-metre walk to the South Whitehaven Lookout for 120-degree views across the 7km beach (moderate fitness needed)
    Buffet lunch and morning and afternoon snacks
    Suitable for all ages, infants welcome from 3 months

    Onboard Super Flyer
