5.00“An unforgettable experience!” 🌊✨ Had the most incredible time during the snorkeling and seaplane tour — it honestly felt like stepping into another world! 🐠💦 The underwater views were mesmerizing, and the thrill of taking off and landing on water was something I’ll never forget. The team made everything even better — professional, friendly, and full of energy. Couldn’t have asked for a better adventure or a better crew! 💙✈️🌴
The greatest way to explore the island!

5.00We did oceanrafting in a light rainy day, the view was still stunning, not too hot. Great thanks to all the crew, beautiful Abby&Lily, Captain Handsome. Very helpful information, lovely lunch. Highlights are: boat racing with rock muaic, ray fish family close to the beach, the snorkeling part was well-organized and very warm-hearted that Abby&Lily went out of the way to help someone can't swim to make sure everyone get the unforgettable experience. Their kindness is beyond expection and we are so lucky to have them! Also I made lots of friends on the boat. This is absolutely a worthwhile experience to try on Whitsundays. Ten out of ten！ Thanks to all!🩵

5.00We had the best time exploring The Whitsundays with Ocean Rafting!! We had our scenic flight with Josh who was so lovely and reassuring. Then we had our boat trip with Chris, Tamika and Lily who were all so much fun!! We had quite a difficult group but they handled it so professionally and still made the day so enjoyable for those of us who were listening 🤣 The food was amazing, we snorkelled, hiked and swam at the beach - a perfect full day of fun!! Could not recommend more! 😊🫶🏻
Amazing way to see Whitehaven two ways. Fly, Raft, snorkel, lookout. It’s the perfect package!

5.00This tour was just perfect. The weather could not have been better to start with but the scenic flight was amazing. The view was stunning and the pilots were fun, professional and informative. We then ventured on the ocean rafts with crew members, Ben and Tamika. These guys were amazing throughout the day. Both were very helpful with any questions, they were patient and strived to bring the energy and create a good vibe for everyone onboard. The balance of snorkelling/beach time I found to be great as we were able to have lunch on the beach and really take it all in. Highly recommend!

5.00If I had to sum up these two days in one word, it would be: magical! First the cruise with Georgie, Ben and Cooper: beautiful landscapes, an incredible atmosphere and perfect guides! Thank you again! And then the flight over the Great Barrier Reef (with Jenny I think? Sorry!!) impressive! I recommend the experience 1000%. Thank you for everything again
