Went on a high speed adventure with ocean rafting over the weekend. The snorkel sights were great and of course nothing can beat that view from Hill Inlet! We felt the boat was really crowded for a day out on the water, more room would have give us more opportunity to spread out and relax. Also we couldn’t hear any of the instructors when they talked about the islands. Would have preferred to be able to get the photos on Facebook like our other tour companies.
I had a great experience with the northern tour, great value for money. I wish I had more time to do both tours.
Great service as well. I got picked up and dropped off to my hotel which was really helpful. I totally recommend this to everyone who travels there.
The best experience in the Whitsundays by far. Professional and helpful staff from the first meet. Check in process was easy, quick and utilises a paperless digital check in system. Most importantly the on water experience was second to none. It's like express posting yourself to the best locations the Whitsunday islands have to offer all in one day. No other tour company has access to these remote locations. Perfect trip for our family day out. Lunch provided in the price also. Can't wait to come back. Well done Ocean Rafting.
An unforgettable experience. I can not recommend it enough. If you have the opportunity treat yourself and enjoy this amazing tour. The staff are brilliant.
We went on Claudia's tour, with Dee and Nicole. Claudia is such a great skipper. So much fun and very confident. She made us all feel safe and she knew exactly what she was doing.
We went to 2 great snorkeling locations, one we swam with hundreds of fish and even seen a reef shark! We seen around 6 or 7 turtles throughout the tour and the tour guides were genuinely happy to see the excitement on our faces. I liked how Dee and Nicole personally went around the boat and got to know each guest and kept everyone talking. They had a lot of knowledge of the area, very educated and knew how to crack a good joke.
I highly recommend going on this tour, it will not disappoint!
Ocean Rafting is a great experience that gives you a taste of the beautiful Whitsundays. Personally I would have preferred to snorkel longer than being on Whitehaven Beach but that may just have been the package I chose. The process is very organised from the time you are picked up from your hotel and there are plenty of friendly staff willing to help you out. Sarah and Tom were great and very informative. I would highly recommend Ocean Rafting.
An Absolutely Awesome day! Beautiful part of Australia, the reef and scenery is amazing, food is great, staff are exceptional- so knowledgeable and friendly. Went out with 6 year old twins no worries.
Highly recommended and great value.
Two fabulous days out on the beautiful waters of the Whitsundays.
We did the Southern Lights tour with Ivan, Sam and Olly. They are great fun: awesome hosts who ensured everyone was engaged and safe.
Beautiful snorkelling, unforgettable white sand and a gorgeous view from the top of Hill Inlet.
If you are considering doing this tour: jump on board. You will not regret it.
Next we did the Northern Exposure trip with the fabulous Sarah and Merrin. My six year old daughter loved the 'girl power' crew. The wind was up and Sarah gave us a very enjoyable ride. She is a brilliant skipper. The coral and fish were exquisite.
We hope to come back to your beautiful part of the world and wouldn't hesitate to do both tours again.
Great value for money. We had an amazing time with Rosco and Miriam. They are the best! Super entertaining, lots of fun, beautiful beaches and good snorkeling location.
Just a fantastic day! Kid friendly trip.

Of the many things we did on the Whitsundays this was without a doubt the best value for money. We took advantage of the double deal special and did both the Northern and Southern Adventures. Highly recommended to every person; local, tourist or otherwise. The guides are very experienced and knowledgeable. The lunch was delicious and plentiful.
Note for those with physical limitations : make sure you tell the operators and they will look after you.
My group was recommended by a mate who went previously. We attended the southern tour. Great fun for the day, the guides were fun and personable. The boat rides are so much fun. Snorkelling conditions were bad because of the cyclone, but it was completely out of the company's power. I would definitely do this again for the snorkelling experience.
Absolutely awesome day. A must do for every visitor. Sam and Danni where the most amazing guides / hostsso friendly helpful and fun. Couldn't have asked for a better crew. Lunch is great and great value for money and tour, snorkeling is amazing. Highly recommended. Thanks Crew 😆👌👍
1. pick up bus was not on time.
2. organization is messy, they will get your lunch voucher before boarding. then how can they know who booked lunch? i booked lunch, but i didn't have anything. because there is nothing left when i got close to the buffet on the boat(there is no exact lunch time notice).
3. i attended day trip for many times in different countries. this is the worst one. the snorkeling spot is just ok. not many fish breeds. the staff gave me personal training and accompany in Thailand, but ocean rafting captain is very cool, he doesn't jump into water, just watching you on the boat.
4. there is no necessary sight introduction, and hill inlet photogranphy is unordered, i can't wait to my turn to take a photo. please don't make all the people come to the same sight together if you can't ensure the order.
5. Everything needs to be charged, there is free water junk but without cups. nobody have water on the boat. Fortunately i brought mineral water by myself. i had free soft drinks and fruits in Malaysia.
6. i wont choose ocean rafting on the second time. i attended Mar 19 , 9.00, Northern line day trip.
We we warned that conditions would be rough, if they ever tell you that, don't cancel the trip! Was so much fun and the guides were great! We enjoyed the day a lot, totally recommended that and it is well worth the money. Wouldn't have wanted to be on any other boat in that waves!
We had a great day! The all girl crew on riptide today were fantastic! The tour was loads of fun, especially the fish feeding whilst snorkeling. Riding the waves on the boat was thrilling. Thank you again crew!
