A great family experience ! - We had a brilliant day with Payton and Shannon on the 4/10/24. We are a family of 4 with two kids aged 12 and 15. We did the day trip with a visit to Whitehaven beach and 2 x snorkelling stops. Payton and Shannon made us feel very welcome, they shared their amazing knowledge and history of the area, and most of all made the day really fun with great tunes and a happy vibe. They were especially attentive and caring towards our daughter who was feeling a bit sea sick and anxious for a bit. She felt looked after and was able to fully participate and have a great day. We couldn’t recommend Payton and Shannon and Redcat Tours highly enough. Cheers for a memorable day ! Chris 😎🤙🏼

I can't recommend this cruise highly enough! - We were looking for a fun day out for the family and were keen to try snorkelling for the first time. I was nervous that the snorkelling would be too challenging, but our tour guides were so helpful and supportive of all skill levels. Whitehaven Beach definitely lived up to the hype. With cool white sand and warm water, it is by far the best beach I've ever visited. The snorkelling locations were superb. I couldn't believe how many fish there were swimming around us. Thankyou, Kurt, Abby and Craig for an amazing day. Their wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm made a great day even better. I am so glad we did this cruise!

Great tour of Whitsundays by friendly staff - Great tour of the Whitsundays. Staff were really friendly and informative. Saw some great fish and coral reefs when snorkeling. Whitehaven Beach is amazing, looks like a postcard, so it's definitely worth a visit!

Hats off to Red Cat for a great visit to the Whitsundays. - Very professional operation. We did the tour on 1 October (green wristbands). The staff and crew were very friendly and enthusiastic; they made everyone feel welcome and safe. The snorkeling at the coral reef was superb — the views of the surface of the corals and their inhabitants were magnificent.

Beautiful beach, fish n coral - Fantastic snorkelling though I which I’d taken the offer of a wet suit as I froze and then most of our clothes were wet from splashes. I would suggest a waterproof spot or bag to put guests things in. Also lunch on land would have been better for me as I got motion sick when eating in the stationary boat as it bobbed up n down due to the waves.
