Ocean Rafting is the 2011 Whitsunday Adventure Tourism Winner and a Queensland Adventure Tourism Winner
Each exhilarating day includes Whitehaven Beach, pristine snorkelling reefs and stunning national park walks. Ocean Rafting is the only tour to have direct access to Hill Inlet beach, a chance to observe the rare Estuarine stingray on silica sands in a swirling turquoise ocean. Our special permits allow us to visit and snorkel in natural, protected areas within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Ocean rafting visits the"wild side" of the Whitsundays, the uninhabited Islands with beautiful, natural scenery brimming with marine, bird and animal life. Small groups allow you to experience tropical paradise away from the crowds. The vessels were originally designed as rescue crafts and are rigid inflatable boats with a perfect"power to weight" ratio making them versatile, maneuverable and fast.
A complement of only 28 guests and 2 crew on each vessel allows personal service, from courtesy bus pick up in the morning, individual snorkel lessons, and guided National Park walking trails. 70% of the boats are under shade providing comfort from our tropical sun.
Ocean Rafting has built a reputation of consistent customer satisfaction. Our visitors book says it all. The company has two distinctly different tours, which both depart daily from Coral Sea Resort in Airlie Beach - the Southern Lights and the Northern Exposure.
