Ocean Rafting

Three top Whitsunday Island destinations all in one day. Each Ocean Rafting day includes an exhilarating ride to world famous Whitehaven Beach, pristine snorkelling reefs around Hook and Border Islands and guided Whitsunday Island National Park walks.

Ocean Rafting semi rigid crafts are super fast doing up to 30 knots and allowing you to experience a fun fast ride, adventure, education and participation in amongst the natural beauty of the tropical Whitsunday Islands.

Ocean Rafting are the proud winners of the Whitsunday Adventure Tourism Award three years in a row.

Ocean Rafting was the first tour company in the Whitsundays to hold ecological accreditation from the Ecotourism Association of Australia and they consistently strive to be environmentally friendly.

25 guests per boat offer personalized snorkelling lessons and great service.
Eighty per cent of the vessels are shaded and a unique bow-boarding stair makes beach access easy.

There are two different tours to choose from or you could take advantage of their double deal and do both. Both marine safaris depart at 10.00 a.m. from the jetty at Coral Sea Resort. The Ocean Rafting courtesy bus can collect you from your accommodation anywhere in Airlie Beach.

Ocean Rafting appeals to the ‘young at heart’.
