Great day trip but pickup was botched: confirmed pickup day before, called them at pickup spot when they were 5mins late and they said they're running late 10-16mins but they'll be there to get us, them get a call at 9am asking where I am and I said waiting for pickup still, they then send someone to get us.

Exhilarating experience on the Thunder Cat !

An absolutely amazing day on the Thunder Cat with our fantastic host Penni. Loved her energy, enthusiasm, humour and knowledge of the Whitsundays. And most importantly her dancing skills. The day was full of great adventures stopping at great spots to snorkel, swim and explore. John provided us with a safe and thrilling ride. Highly recommended- will be back !!!
Amazing experience!

Proposing on Whitehaven Beach, and snorkelling with a turtle!!
The day was just amazing, the boat trip was great, food was delicious and the people on our boat were great people and we all had plenty of laughs.
The crew at Redcat were amazing, shout out to Rahn and Emily our tour guides. Absolute legends of people
All in all we will be doing this again 100%
Rainy trip but well worth it

Amazing view and good snorkeling spots

The trip was wonderful. Two snorkeling spots were great, please wear a life jacket to save your energy. The Hill Look Out is amazing, but for some reasons, we didn't physically go to White haven beach-this was disappointed to me, we standed Hill Look Out TO LOOK the Whitehaven beach. I think this tours title and description need to be modified to make thing clearly.
Two crew members worked so hard to serve 20 plus people on board, we got morning and afternoon snacks and also tasty lunch.
Thank you!
Amazing!!

Amazing experience. Shaun our skipper and Emily our host were a vibe! Having us laugh all day. Shaun was very informative - it was a huge plus learning about all of the islands history. Enjoyed every single minute of this day. Thank you!

Snorkelling at manta Ray Bay was an unbelievable experience and I will recommend it to everyone. There was so many fish and our guide (Laucu) made sure everyone got a chance to see them up close and personal. Snorkeling at cockatiel bay was beautiful, lots of coral and lots of different colours.
Whitehaven beach was stunning. We spent 2.5 hours on the beach and could do our own thing. Would definitely recommend Red Cat Adventures( Thunder cat) to all age groups.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
