An incredible experience exploring Whitehaven, the Whitsunday islands and Hill Inlet viewpoint. I snorkelled and scuba dived the outer reef 10 years ago and the Whitsunday islands / fringing reef (Mantaray Bay + Cockatoo Point) was on par, no doubt about it. The team on Thundercat are great fun and super helpful. ALSO, a massive shoutout to Travel Shack / Whitsunday Adventures who guided me and my friends through what the day entailed amongst other trips we booked with them. Highly recommend also.

Well organised day trip, with efficient friendly staff. The tour doesn't visit the main Whitehaven beach, just the north end near the lookout, which to us was disappointing. The snorkelling at 2 different locations was good, one had lots of fish which came in to be fed, the other area had more coral. The boat itself is basic so its important to know you may be wet most of the day, with your belongings wet too, depending on how calm or rough the water / winds are. On the way out and back we were hit with spray soaking us, and they had to use the tender to take us off the beach to the boat and we got completely drenched again. We still enjoyed lots of the day, the sites are definitely worth visiting, we just wouldnt choose that style of boat again. Probably more suitable for the young and adventurous.

We had the best hosts with Loz and Shannon. They were so professional and their knowledge of the reef was next level. They made the experience so fun and entertaining!. We loved the whole experience from start to finish. Great lunch as well !

We had such a fun time with Red Cat Adventures! Despite the weather not being the most ideal, we still had an extremely fun day with the crew! Our main guide who went by McLovin (totally forget her real name) had us laughing the entire time and was very knowledgeable on the areas. We stopped at White Haven for the lookout, swam a bit at the beach then went to 2 different snorkelling spots before heading back. A couple snacks were provided (brownies and some fruit) and a light lunch of various salads and make your own sandwich. Overall, had a great time and would totally recommend Red Cat to explore the Whitsundays 🫶

Red Cats picked us up at the nearest point to our hotel and then we were taken to the port for a safety brief, gear, instructions etc. The boat was sturdy, the weather was good on the day we visited and our guides were good. 'Emily' our guide from the Red Cats was really helpful and we had a great time. We visited the Whitehaven Beach from 10.45-12.15. We were then taken to a snorkelling location at the Hook Island. We snorkelled there for about 45 minutes & then off to another snorkelling location which was the highlight - what a beautiful reef. Snacks & light lunch was provided. Pls ensure you used the washrooms on the port/ Whitehaven beach as the boat has a really tiny one which can be difficult. We had a fun day with Red Cats!

Our trip with the thunder cat was absolutely amazing! Good music that fit the vibe throughout the whole day and an amazing crew that had energy enough for all 30 of us! We saw some amazing views of the whitsundays and whitehaven beach as well as some great views of the barrier reef. The captain PK and his second man baby Thor made us laugh throughout the day, and went above and beyond to show us their backyard. Unbelievably amazing! Thank you from Sweden!

What a great day out! Will and Dave were awesome hosts. Having multiple stops broke up the day on the boat. Whitehaven beach was gorgeous and the snorkeling at Manta Ray Bay was amazing. The snacks and lunch were also yummy.

What an AWESOME day out in paradise. Beautiful tour, delicious lunch & hosts Reece, Mike & Tate were fantastic 👌 We had the best fun & will do this tour again! Big shout out to Mike who was amazing with my 13 year old daughter when she was frightened on the boat, he was extremely reassuring for her. 🙏

We had an incredible day, thanks to Riley, Gus & Shannon. We're a family of novice swimmers and Riley & Gus were patient while we got into the water & familiarized ourselves with the snorkel gear. Thanks a lot guys! And Shannon your knowledge & passion for Whitsundays & GBR is amazing!
