Stunning islands, tight bunks

The sailing and snorkelling were world-class and the crew were legends. Bunks are snug as expected on a boat but that is part of the fun.

Loved every minute

Snorkelling straight off the back of the boat, sunbaking on the deck and Whitehaven Beach. A couple got a bit seasick but the crew were caring.

Whitsundays did not disappoint

From Hill Inlet lookout to the coral gardens, every stop was jaw-dropping. Skipper and hostess were absolute legends. Highly recommend.

Best two days of the trip

The catamaran was comfy, the food was great and the crew made it so much fun. Whitehaven Beach genuinely looks Photoshopped in real life.

Perfect Whitsundays trip

Great crew, great food and the most beautiful islands. We snorkelled with turtles, sailed at sunset and slept under the stars. Book it!

Whitehaven Beach is heaven

Sailing the Whitsundays was the best part of my whole trip. Whitehaven's white sand is unreal and snorkelling straight off the boat was incredible.

About Northern Exposure Tour with Lunch

Operated by Ocean Rafting · 7 Hours · Airlie Beach, QLD

"THE ORIGINAL AND MOST AWARDED TOUR IN THE WHITSUNDAYS" Multi award winning 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 Ocean Rafting Northern Exposure day tour offers three days in one, including an exhilarating ride to Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, two pristine snorkelling reef sites and guided Whitsunday Island National Park walks. The Northern Exposure tour offers the ultimate access to the stunning and iconic Hill Inlet beach and special snorkel sites at Hook Island and Border Island ensure a memorable underwater experience. The main difference between Ocean Rafting’s two tours is that the Northern Exposure offers more snorkelling time and the Southern Lights has more beach time. The semi rigid inflatable vessels are super fast allowing guests to experience a fun ride, adventure and education amongst the natural beauty of the Whitsundays. 32 passengers at most allows for personal snorkelling lessons and the pleasure of a small group. A tropical style lunch is served at the beach with plenty of time to swim in the turquoise ocean or just relax on the silica white sand. Ocean Rafting has been operating since 1997 and is proud to have special permits allowing its vessels to visit protected areas in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The Skipper and Eco Host will ensure guests have a fun filled adventure and personalised service with snorkel lessons and a guided National Park walk in the Whitsunday Islands. Tours depart from Coral Sea Marina, Northern Village and courtesy coach pickups are included. The Ocean Rafting Northern Exposure includes a tropical-style lunch and a sunsuit/wetsuit.
