The Ocean Rafting Northern Exposure offers you the ride of your life! With unique, semi-rigid inflatable rafts for a speedy trip. Without a doubt, this is the most fun and adventurous way to explore the Whitsunday Islands. This tour is a must-do when visiting Airlie Beach.

These ocean rafts are unlike any other vessels and can directly access Whitehaven Beach. With incredibly easy access to the beach and the ocean, will get you as close to the Reef as possible! You will spend a full 2 hours exploring the expansive white sands of Whitehaven Beach, along with a picnic lunch. Also, join a guided walk to the Hill Inlet Lookout to see the famous swirling sands. Not to mention that the Hill Inlet Lookout is the perfect place to capture those fantastic shots – where no two photos are ever the same!

The Ocean Rafting Northern Exposure tour offers small group sizes, with a fleet of vessels available to carry 25-32 guests onboard. Nonetheless, the Ocean Rafting Northern Exposure has always been a favourite for all guests. In fact, with access to 74 fantastic Snorkel locations, you will visit 2 of the very best spots.

During your stunning day in the Whitsundays, a crew member will take some happy snaps of the day, and these will be available to purchase after travel for you to savour your memories!

Were you looking for something a little different?

Alternatively, if you would prefer more time to spend on Whitehaven Beach and a little less time snorkelling, why not take a look at the alternative itinerary offered on the Ocean Rafting Southern Highlights. In contrast, this itinerary visits only 1 Snorkelling location for the day but offers more beach time to relax and explore.

On the other hand, if you are short on time and want to maximise your day, why not join the Fly and Raft package. In addition to your day with Ocean Rafting, you will join a 1 Hour Scenic Flight before your departure. View the fantastic Heart Reef from the sky, visit Whitehaven Beach and Snorkel the Coral Gardens. All the Great Barrier Reef highlights all in 1 day!
