We had the most AMAZING day with Ocean Rafting on The Northern Exposure tour. Our crew, Dave and Jessie, were knowledgeable and great fun. Whitehaven and Hill Inlet were breathtaking. Snorkelling spot...wow...so many fish. Lunch packs were great value and convenient. Would highly recommend and we will do again when back in Airlie.

At Airlie Beach, board the fastest day boat in the Whitsundays. Your ride is guaranteed to be fun, educational, and filled with adventure. After all, the super-fast, semi-rigid inflatable vessel has the potential to reach speeds of up to 35 knots (65 kilometers per hour).

Northern Exposure

Love snorkeling? Choose the Northern Exposure option. Visit 2 North Whitehaven snorkel destinations for an eco-adventure that is popular with avid snorkelers. You'll also get to set foot in a stunning beach at Hill Inlet. This is followed by a guided walk in the National Park to the lookout over the silica sand of Whitehaven.

Southern Lights

Beach lovers should opt for the Southern Lights option. You'll be taken to South Whitehaven where you can spend at least two hours relaxing on the white silica sand. Then, enjoy a guided walk to Hill Inlet for spectacular views of the tropical waters. Snorkel for about an hour and see corals and fringing reefs.

Regardless of what you choose, this is the only tour in the Whitsundays to have direct access to Hill Inlet beaches at Whitehaven.
