FANTASTIC

Scottie and David were fantastic today while I was on Red Cat! Took us to great snorkeling spots, made the guests feel safe and well looked after. Scottie was amazing. Funny, diligent and attention to detail. Even though I went solo, I didn’t feel alone. Snacks and lunch were also great. Highly recommend!

This tour was really good. I was blown away by how many beautiful fish we got to see when we were snorkelling. And my husband and son loved it too. The service was outstanding. The lunch was yummy. And the day was really well organised from the minute we got picked up to when we got back. Thank you to our captain and crew!

UNFORGETTABLE

Our first time visiting the Whitsundays and booking Tongarra was the best thing we could have done! Amazing scenery, but what really made Tongarra an incredible experience was the crew. They were great fun, super informative about our surroundings and as a first time snorkeller they put my mind at ease!
