Head out on a high speed ocean raft on this Whitsundays tour focused on giving you the maximum amount of time to enjoy spectacular Whitehaven Beach - one of Australia's most beautiful spots. Combining an adrenaline-pumping jet boat cruise with both fun island activities and chance for some quality snorkelling, this tour is an itinerary that provides an ideal balance between time both on and off shore. Departing from Airlie Beach at 9am, you'll be whisked to Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island for a landing at both Hill Inlet and the southern end of the beach, to marvel at its amazing white silica sand. Walk to the Southern Whitehaven lookout with breathtaking views of Pentecost Island and the tropical waters of the Whitsundays, and join the guided walk to the stunning Hill Inlet lookout.

Follow it up with some wonderful snorkelling at nearby Border or Dumbell Island - both renowned for their stunning array of soft and hard corals and varieties of vivid fish - for a marine adventure you aren't soon to forget! Feel free to bring along your own lunch for the trip to save a few dollars, or enjoy a delicious tropical style lunch as an optional upgrade for an extra $20 - the choice is yours. The best of the Whitsundays on both land and water coupled with some high-speed thrills - that's what this tour is all about, so be sure to book online today.

The whole family enjoyed it from 6 months old to 50 years old. Would definitely do it again and recommend it to everyone. Easy check in process from pick up to drop off. Bar on board was great with the music pumping. Skipper handled the rough sea well.
Excellent tour. Guides were so much fun. Weather was great.

It was so relaxing to listen to music and enjoy the scenery with delicious sparkling wine!

The cruise was fully booked, so it was packed once everyone was seated. Even though it was busier than I expected, I really enjoyed the vibe! Nice music, amazing view and lovely staff! Unfortunately there was a shower and we couldn’t actually get the sunset but it was a lovely evening!

We enjoyed riding a fast boat to Whitehaven beach, seeing the glorious view from the hill inlet & snorkelling the reef.

We had the best day out. The staff at Ocean Rafting are brilliant, super helpful, happy, and attentive. The staff on our boat were constantly checking that everyone was catered for and having a great time, snapping photos and answering questions. Our kids loved it, Whitehaven beach was beautiful, the snorkelling was great fun & the kids loved the thrill of the fast boat - I'd recommend this tour to everyone!

This was a fantastic trip

This was a fantastic trip! We really enjoyed every aspect. The food was great, the weather was great, the crew were great! If we ever get back there we will do it again. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a trip for the Inner reef.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Whitsundays

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Whitsundays. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to visit Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet Lookout. The tour from start to finish was amazing and would definitely recommend it. The staff were very helpful and made the tour extremely fun. Must do when visiting Whitsundays!

Whitehaven Beach is a MUST-DO if visiting the Whitsundays

Whitehaven Beach is a MUST-DO if visiting the Whitsundays. The sand is so blinking white! Its really beautiful and water is so clear. I found that by going on the ocean rafting boat it was much quickest to get there meaning more time to relax on the beach. Its also a really fun ride. We were able to snorkel and swim (although we had to wear stinger suits). The lunch too was very good. I would highly recommend this trip. The staff we fantastic!

This high-speed option is a great way to combine sightseeing with a bit of an extra rush, while also saving time by accessing some of the Whitsundays' top highlights far quicker than a regular cruise.
