Our semi rigid inflatable vessels are super fast allowing you to experience a fun ride, adventure and education amongst the natural beauty of the Whitsundays. Ocean Rafting, operating since 1997, is proud to have special permits allowing us to visit protected areas in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Ocean Rafting visits the “Wild Side” of the Whitsunday Islands, the uninhabited Islands with beautiful natural scenery brimming with marine, bird and animal life. The vessels were originally designed and built as rescue crafts and are driven by 450hp engines. 70% of the vessel is shaded providing comfort from our tropical sun.

Your Skipper and Eco Host will ensure you have a fun filled adventure and personalized service, from the courtesy bus pick up in the morning to snorkel lessons and a guided National Park walk in the Whitsunday Islands.

Our fabulous crew are well trained professionals and will ensure that your day with us is fun and memorable. They have great local knowledge of the Islands flora and fauna and the marine wildlife. First time snorkellers, no problem.

Ocean Rafting has built a reputation of consistent customer satisfaction. Our visitor’s book says it all.
