This includes two different snorkel destinations, a visit to the beach at Hill Inlet, and a guided National Park walk to the lookout above the silica sand of Whitehaven.

It was a great trip, the guides were cool, they made the trip really pleasant, they were super nice and aware of everything, but letting you some space. Would recommend it to someone that wants to see fish, have a great time and enjoy the beach. The lunch was also okay, it could be better, but thinking in what they can carry and have for everyone I think it’s okay.

The activity was SO GOOD! I had the best time and the tour guides were amazing. We had Cel and Taylor as our guides and they were great with making everyone feel safe but also enjoy themselves. We saw humpback whales and beautiful sceneries. I would 100% recommend everyone to use "ocean rafting" if they are looking to book a tour.

Easily one of the best things I've done. The team from the start were very responsive to any queries we had. The free pick up & drop off service was a great touch to ensure you could make it there. Our crew made the whole trip they were very interactive, knowledge and all in all a good laugh. So full credit goes to Captain Scott and Maisie. The Whitsundays are such a beautiful place and this activity gives you chance to see Whitehaven Beach from above as well as go on it through the clear waters and white sand. The snorkel was amazing and saw some great fish and reefs. Would highly recommend using Ocean Rafting, as I'm sure you will have an amazing time just like us! We cannot wait to come back!
