The Ocean Rafting Southern Lights offers you a thrilling ride to Whitehaven Beach. Zoom across the water on the custom-built semi-rigid inflatable rafts for a speedy trip. Indeed, the most adventurous way to spend your day exploring the Whitsunday Islands!
Take in breathtaking views over Whitehaven Beach
First on the list is heading to the world-famous Whitehaven Beach. Unlike other boats, these unique vessels have a shallow hull, allowing you to get as close as possible to the beach as possible. Step straight off the boat and onto Whitehaven Beach. Not only will you be able to spend the most time at Whitehaven Beach on this Ocean Rafting Whitsundays tour, but you will also get to enjoy your lunch here.
Following on from the beach, join your guide on the nature walk, taking you right to the Hill Inlet Lookout. Here you can view the magical swirling sands. As a result of the continually shifting sands with the tides, these swirls are always changing. In the same way as snowflakes, no two views will ever be the same!
