Ocean Rafting, Queensland Adventure Tourism Winner 2001.The fastest tour around the Whitsunday Islands includes exploring Whitehaven Beach, snorkelling pristine reefs and tropical island guided walks.
The focus of Ocean Rafting is on adventure, participation, education, and the natural environment.The startling colour scheme conjures up an air of youthful exuberance appealing to the adventurous and the young at heart. Ocean Rafting is exciting, different and fun.
Ocean Rafting was the first tour company in the Whitsundays to hold ecological accreditation from the Ecotourism Association of Australia an accolade of which we are very proud. With a cruising speed of over 30 knots the vessels can explore vast areas of the Whitsundays in one day- but the design of the vessel reduces fuel usage and impact and therefore is more environmentally friendly.
A complement of only 25 guests and 2 crew on each vessel allows personal service, from courtesy bus pick up in the morning, individual snorkel lessons, and guided National Park walking trails. 70% of the boats are under shade providing comfort from our tropical sun.
Ocean Rafting has built a reputation of consistent customer satisfaction.Our visitors book says it all. The company has two distinctly different tours, which both depart daily from Coral Sea Resort in Airlie Beach. The Southern Lights, and the Northern Exposure.
