We had an amazing time on the Wipeout boat with Ocean Rafting! Kayla was absolutely fantastic—kind, patient, and incredibly helpful. We didn’t know how to swim, but she guided us through the snorkeling experience, making us feel safe and allowing us to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The views were breathtaking, and we took so many great photos. Lunch was delicious as well. We’re truly grateful to Kayla and the entire team for such a memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour!

We recently did this package and we loved it! We were picked up directly from our hotel early in the morning and taken to the flight, our driver was lovely and super helpful, pointing out recommendations throughout the drive. We were given lockers at the airport to hold our things. The plane ride was incredible! The views were breathtaking, our pilot was lovely and very skilled. I would recommend taking a travel sickness tablet before flying if you usually get motion sickness! We were then driven from the airport to the marina where we were given stinger suits and told which boat we would be on. Our team from Ocean rafting was Hayley and Tay…both were amazing at making the day super memorable! We had a fairly long drive on the boat to the first location but tay made it fun by showing us some tricks with the boat! We did the walk up to hill inlet lookout first and that was incredible as well, super easy 15 min walk but not accessible (lots of stairs) then we had our included lunch which was delicious and we had a swim in the Whitsundays beach. The highlight was the snorkelling, we were provided with our stinger suits, snorkels and flippers and given two locations to snorkel. First location was full of beautiful turtles! And second was PACKED with beautiful fish that swam right around you. 10/10 experience, would highly recommend! Thankyou Hayley and Tay for putting so much effort in to making the day great.
