Really solid tour
We've used a few different tour companies in Australia and Dundee is one of the better ones. Professional, friendly, and fair pricing.

Worth the money
Good experience overall. The booking was easy and the activity was fun. Would have liked slightly smaller groups but the guides managed well.

Exceeded all expectations
What an adventure! The whole experience was world-class. Already planning to come back and do it again. Thanks to the Dundee team for making it so easy.

Decent but room for improvement
Had a good time but felt the experience was a bit overpriced for what you get. The guide was great though and the location was beautiful.

Absolutely epic!
This was hands-down the best activity we did on our Queensland trip. The team were legends and the experience was world-class.

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.
