Island resort stay with zig zag tour

The best get away I have ever had, I only wish we'd stayed longer. This is a fantastic experience for couples or anyone looking to escape to a beautiful, tranquil and remote island. The Zig Zag tour on the fast boat was awesome, Whitehaven beach was absolutely stunning and snorkeling the reefs was amazing. We will definitely book this again in the future. Just perfect!

A weekend in paradise!

My boyfriend and I, and are two friends, absolutely loved this Island retreat. The whole package was fantastic and I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a more relaxed and special trip to the Whitsundays. The day tour to the Whitsundays was brilliant with Zig Zag and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. We visited the famous Whitehaven and a few other snorkelling spots and even though it was all within one day it didn’t feel rushed at all. The night at Palm Bay Resort exceed all expectations. There were drinks awaiting our arrival and the staff again were super friendly and were always willing to offer their help and advice. We went on walks around the untouched grounds spotting all sorts of wildlife - wallabies included! We went kayaking and snorkelling in the bay, we enjoyed cocktails in the pool - the whole weekend was fantastic and so well organised. The hut overlooked the beach and was immaculate and had everything you needed. It felt we were the only ones there! Thank you so much - we recommend it to everyone we speak to!

Misinformed

Whilst the day trip around the islands was very good, our issue was with the stay on long beach. The resort was beautiful however we were never informed that the restaurant at the hotel had been shut down for three days. This left us, after a long day of touring, with nowhere to eat dinner. Upon arrival at the resort we were informed by the staff, who sounded baffled at the fact we hadn’t been told to bring our own food to cook at self maintained lodges, the restaurant was closed. Thank goodness that the convenience store was open for us to buy some packet rice and eggs, otherwise we would have been left with no food from lunchtime (around 12:30) until 4pm the next day after drop off. On top of this we weren’t informed that check out was 10am and therefore had to pay extra to keep the room until 2pm as pick up was 3pm. Overall the day tour was good and had the restaurant been open and check out been later it would have been a great trip. Just happened on this occasion that there was closure of the restaurant and a lack of communication and information

Fun boat with a beautiful resort stay.

Zig Zag tours was excellent! The boat was fun and very speedy across the water. The crew, Kay, Mel and Taz were great, very friendly and helpful at all the stops throughout. The stops were beautiful. Wewere then dropped off at Palm Bay Resort which is stunning! The rainforest right next to the beach. We cooked our own food, provided by Zig Zag for an extra fee and it was delicious! Definitely recommend this option. The facilities at Palm Bay Resort was great as were all the staff and I would stay again. This combo deal was a perfect mix of fun and relaxation.
