"THE ORIGINAL AND MOST AWARDED TOUR IN THE WHITSUNDAYS" Visit three top destinations whilst having the ride of your life! Each Ocean Rafting day includes an exhilarating ride to world famous Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet Beach and Lookout, pristine snorkelling reefs and guided Whitsunday Island National Parks walks, all in one day! The semi rigid inflatable vessels are super fast allowing you to experience a fun ride, adventure and education amongst the natural beauty of the Whitsundays.  Ocean Rafting offers two different Whitehaven Beach tours to choose from, the Northern Exposure and the Southern Lights tour. The significant difference between the two tours is that the Northern Exposure offers more snorkelling time and the Southern Lights offers more Whitehaven beach time. Ocean Rafting is the only tour operator to have direct access to the stunning and iconic Hill Inlet beach and secret snorkel sites around the Whitsundays ensuring a memorable underwater experience.

This was a real highlight of a short visit to Airlie Beach. All the staff at Ocean Rafting were fantastic and really wanted you to have the best experience possible. We were lucky in that the weather was perfect and the scenery as stunning as you see in the all the photographs. Dex & Maz were really informative and helpful. The Riptide was a great boat We would highly recommend this trip

Fantastic day out with an 11 year old, 8 year old and a 20 month toddler. All three had a great day. The toddler swam at the beach. 8 and 11 year old both snorkelled. 8 year old was given floatation waggle and a life vest to make it easier. We saw turtles, sting rays and whales! As well the fish and coral. Would definitely recommend.

We had an absolutely brilliant time on this trip. Our guides, Scotty and Callum, were utterly brilliant and took us to some amazing spots for snorkelling and whale watching. There was an excellent level of attention to detail- the post-swim lamingtons to remove the salt taste really were the icing on the cake. Would highly recommend this company.
