The best way to experience it all in one day, enjoy a 60 minute scenic flight over some of the most breathtaking views Australia has to offer, before adventuring out on a speedy rafting vessel to some highlight locations such as Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet Lookout.
Start the day off right with a magnificent 60-minute scenic flight over the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef. With awesome pilot commentary and a guaranteed window seat, be sure to have your camera ready for the incredible stark white sands of Hill Inlet and Whitehaven, and for the most pictured reef in the world – Heart Reef. If you’re travelling during Whale season, keep your eyes peeled for the migrating Humpback Whales in the waters below, a wonderful experience in itself.
Head back to the mainland and hop on board Ocean Raftings iconic vessel for an exhilarating ride out to the Whitsundays.
