    We had a great day out! Lots to see even some surprises. The reef was amazing, took photos with the go-pro, but doesn't do justice. Lunch was nice. The crew Craig, Bayden and Ty were friendly, informative and helpful. Recommend this trip for a great day out. Length of day was just right! Thanks M Borg

    Absolutely amazing trip with Wildcat Mackay. We saw so many wonderful whales even had one circle the boat and dive under the boat. Brilliant the whales breached out of the water, showed their tails and waved their flippers. The captain and crew were friendly, helpful,informative and great sense of humour. Good music playing on the boat. Enjoyed lunch and snorkeling moored of Scawfell Island. The crew transported us the the beach on the Island for paddle, swim and explore. Fantastic day I recommend it to all. Heather Jenkins

    12 months ago I wrote a review for Red Cat Adventures for the a Hat Trick of their tours. They have since added another to their experiences to be had. The new boat Wildcat do outer reef tours from Airlie Beach on selected days. Oh boy, unbelievable experience. You meet early at Coral Sea Marina by a mixture of friendly staff. Checkin, wetsuit fitting, medical checks all complete. Time to board a spacious, comfortable boat. Safety briefing done with new jokes I’ve not heard before, as I done a lot of boat tours. Reece our skipper explains our itinerary for the day with enthusiasm and professionalism. Half way through our 1.5 hour journey out we are given some yummy chocolate brownies. As we pull up to our first snorkel spot. Instructions, briefing and special training given to first timers. A well oiled team gets to work. Sam, Tate and Jamie all took their spots to ensure safety was a priority. We returned onboard to find an amazing buffet of the freshest of food to enjoy. Seconds were encouraged. Feeling satisfied, our bellies had enough time to digest before next snorkel spot. This is where you can not plan this, but with Reece’s positive, law of attraction vibe. He found us a pod of Whales migrating, breaching and playing. Goose bumps all round. Amazing! Bucket list experience. We soon moved on to cruising past our incredible Great Barrier Reef. Only to educated about “horizontal waterfalls”. Our experienced Skipper timed this well with out going tides to show us something phenomenal. Who knew they existed. Having worked on a Dive boat in Cairns for two years. I’ve never seen this. The next snorkel spot was so good. A drift dive/snorkel. The team drop you off at one point, and you simply float/snorkel back to our boat. So effortless, visibility, protected, wildlife saw this experienced diver/snorkeler loving life! As we cruised home fresh fruit cleansed the palate before the bar was opened. Some chilled beverages, more whales, photo swapping with fellow passengers had me feeling the “best day ever”. All of the above can be had by many other operators with such an amazing backyard to show off. But what makes Red Cat Adventures stand out for me is the companies strict policy to be Eco Friendly. The team told me about how they put back into Reef nurseries, beach clean ups and recycling. Different coloured bins on board to make sure only what’s necessary goes to landfill. Thank you to the whole team from reservations, operations and front of house who makes this local so proud. I treat myself to one tour on my birthday every year. Next year I hope they add another. Because I can’t choose between Thunder Cat, Falls to Paradise, Tongarra or Wildcat… Again Reece, your my new favourite skipper. Tate, Jamie and Sam are so lucky they are being lead by someone who’s day at work didn’t look like it. And to those young ones. Keep up the great work. Your enthusiasm and simple giggles through the day doesn’t go unnoticed.

    Bad in general terms. We chose this destination to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef. First of all, they sneaked us into a tour reserved for a beach trash collection association, negatively affecting the tour. 2 hours to get there, 45 minutes of snorkeling and another two hours to the beach to see how they collected trash. If you are hesitating between Mackay and another snorkeling destination, don't do it, choose another. Pretty poor lunch. A trifle is served per person and then you can take the remains, but there wasn't even bread for everyone. The same in the morning and afternoon, offering some the possibility of repeating without there being enough for the rest. For the price you pay per person, more than €200, it seems little less than a scam. We were surprised by the good opinions that the tour has, but later we understood that the crew does everything possible to win over people and get a good score. In addition lycra suits smell bad, like sweat from never having been washed
