Owner's Message
Every day, this company takes you to three destinations with its two tours "Northern Exposure" and "Southern Lights": the magnificent Whitehaven Beach, the pristine reefs and Whitsunday Island.
The main difference between these two tours is that Northern Exposure offers more time for snorkeling, while Southern Lights focuses on beach time. It is possible to do these 2 tours in 2 days, taking advantage of a special rate.
The boats of this company are semi-rigid, inflatable and very fast. Each boat has a maximum capacity of 32 passengers, which ensures a good atmosphere and privileged contact with the guides.
You can also fly in a small aircraft for a 60-minute flight over the Whitsundays. Breathtaking scenery!
Operating since 1997, Ocean Rafting is proud to have privileged permits allowing its vessels to visit protected areas in the Great Barrier Reef. It is the only operator to have direct access to the beautiful and iconic Inlet Hill beach, as well as the precious and dazzling reefs around Hook Island!

We then boarded Thrilla with Kurt and Jesse, legendary guides who kept our wet and wild trip energised with good jokes and yummy lunch followed by a welcome snack.
Whitehaven beach had stunning views and our snorkel spots were bang on, saw so many fish and lovely coral despite the visibility not being ideal.
If you get motion sickness this is definitely not the outing for you! But my partner and I had so much fun and will definitely re-book if we ever come back!
The cost was cheaper than other similar tours and since these guys have cleaned up every award, it’s well worth your time and money.
