2 weeks agoBrilliant daddy-daughter day out with Red Cat Adventures on the Wild Cat boat with PK, Ella and Skipper Ian. Weather was magic and everything was incredible. PK brought the energy all day as the crew kept us informed and entertained. The team made sure my 6 year old was safe and having a great time all day. Snorkelling and the visit to Whitehaven were the major highlights. Thanks for a great trip! Highly recommend!

2 months agoA great day out with an excellent crew. I felt relaxed and in good hands for the whole trip. The spots and scenery were particularly amazing. You'll never see so many beautiful fish and coral in your life!!! The lunch was also very good. The only negative was that the in board water didn't taste great and was very warm. But that's understandable and I'm not sure what they could do about that. Remember to bring some sort of bottle to refill as they don't have cups or bottles.

2 months agoWhat an absolute cracker of a day. My Wife, Nephews and I had a spectacular day. From the moment we were greeted by the wonderfully warm and super professional staff till the time we Disembarked, our trip was amazing. Seeing amazing beaches, spectacular views, unbelievable marine life and beautiful coral we were so blessed, despite the poor weather Ian W and Ian W still managed to showcase what the amazing Whitsundays had to offer and made our trip an ever lasting memory. we will definitely be back!!! MASSIVE thanks skipper Ian W and Brother man Ian W and the whole Red Cat team you have really captured the best way to experience the Whitsundays 10/10

a month agoI went on the Tongarra day sail and it was one of the best experiences I have ever done. We took a boat ride out to the reef to have a go at some snorkelling which was amazing. Seeing the vibrant colours of the reef and all the different fish was incredible. I hadn’t snorkelled before and Patrick made me feel safe and comfortable, giving a short briefing beforehand. We then took a short boat ride across to a remote beach where we were led up to a beautiful lookout before chilling on the beach and being left to do as we please. Plenty of time for photos!! I feel on trips like this, one of the most important things is the crew onboard. Jakob and Patrick were great. They have a great sense of humour, can have a laugh, but also can be serious and professional when required. They allowed me to kick back and relax the whole day and I wasn’t worried about a single thing. I highly recommend this trip to everyone. What a great experience I will never forget.
