About Red Cat Adventures
Red Cat Adventures operates intimate, small-group sailing tours through the Whitsunday Islands aboard their distinctive red sailing catamaran, Tongarra. Based in Airlie Beach, Red Cat has built a loyal following for their personalised approach to island exploration — with a maximum of 30 guests, every trip feels more like sailing with friends than a mass-market tour operation.
Their signature full-day tour visits Whitehaven Beach (including the famous Hill Inlet lookout), followed by guided snorkelling at pristine fringing reef sites around the Whitsunday Islands. The sailing catamaran provides a genuine on-the-water experience, with guests welcome to help raise the sails and take the helm. A tropical buffet lunch, morning and afternoon tea, and all snorkelling equipment are included. They also offer a dedicated snorkel tour that spends more time exploring underwater sites.
Red Cat Adventures has earned consistently outstanding reviews for their friendly, knowledgeable crew who go out of the way to ensure every guest has an exceptional day. The relaxed, boutique atmosphere and the beauty of sailing under canvas set them apart from the larger, faster tour operators in the region. For visitors who want a more authentic Whitsundays experience, Red Cat delivers.
