Great day out - We had fantastic day, Whitehaven Beach was beautiful, even with a few showers. We were blown away with the snorkeling, so many beautiful fish, coral was amazing. Our skipper Rhys and his assistant (forgot her name, long blond hair) made a great team. They couldn’t be more helpful. Snacks and lunch were very good. Great day out.

Best Day Ever!! - We spent my 40th Birthday on board the Red Cat Adventure boat with Rosie and PK, what a great experience we had. They kept our group spirts up the whole day with their fun energy and great team work was outstanding. I forgot my wetsuit and PK let me borrow his.... thanks PK. When we walked away from the boat my daughter said I will never forget PK that was the best experience with his upbeat personality. We will be back!

The best tour on The Whitsundays. - This was hands down the best tour I've ever been on. Anthony, our host was amazing. So full of great knowledge and lots of fun as well. Whitehaven Beach was incredible. Everywhere you looked was picture perfect. The water was crystal clear and beautiful to swim in. The snorkling experience was outstanding. I never expected to witness the sea life which we saw. It was mind blowing. The size of the fish, well they were enormous and spectacular. The coral was so diverse and colourful. The crew made us feel safe and secure and were always keeping a watchful eye on everyone's safety. Lastly the food we received was fresh and delicious with a bonus skewer of fresh fruit on the way back to shore. If you choose to go on this tour, you will not regret it.

Unforgettable Adventure - The crew were friendly and knowledgeable and ensured everyone felt safe and confident in the water. Whitehaven beach is breathtakingly beautiful - the pure white silica sand and crystal clear turquoise waters are unlike anything I’ve seen before. One of the highlights was Hill Inlet lookout, the panoramic views were stunning and perfect opportunity to capture some photos and snorkeling among the coral reefs was unforgettable.
