We've just come back from our Fly 'n Raft trip, and it's been the absolute best day. I wanted to show my family the best spots in Australia and why I've been living in this country for the last 4 years, and after today, I think they finally fully understand why. Or crew Celeste and Hayley and our captain Mez were unreal. I've done quite a few boat trips in Oz, but this was the first time I had an all female crew, and what a powerful one as well! So bloody inspiring. So professional and focused on safety, whilst also making sure we had the most fun day ever, it was just unreal. Finishing first in the race back to the harbour was a great end to an already stellar day. Big up the girls! I will be recommending Ocean Rafting to everyone I meet, keep up the incredible work. Thanks again for everything, it's been the highlight of our 3 week family trip. Lots of love from the family from Belgium! X

We had an amazing day with ocean rafting and our scenic flight! We spotted so much wildlife from the air over the beautiful reef. The snorkelling was fantastic with so many different fish and coral. This was a highlight of our trip and is a must do!

This tour was absolutely unbelieveable from the flight through to the rafting and snorkelling experience. The flight over the reef and whitehaven beach was a great start to the day and provided a brilliant view of the whitsundays and the great barrier reef. Then the ocean rafting was a once in a lifetime sort of experience from stepping foot on whitehaven beach to snorkelling the reef and swimming with the fishes. To top it all off we had Tom and Mez as our guides who honestly made the day in my eyes. They both were brilliant people and great laugh on the boat (riptide)!

Brilliant day out from start to finish! We started with the scenic flight which was unbelievable and absolutely stunning- well worth doing the both. We then went on the raft which was so cool visiting the gorgeous beaches and snorkelling plus lunch and drinks - it was just fun and good craic ,especially thanks to the crew Jess and Harry and the DJ DAVE . It’s been our favourite thing that we’ve done in Australia as of yet!! Thanks guys from two Irish from the back!

Fantastic experience on the scenic flight exceeded expectations and the rafting was so much fun lucky enough to be on the Thunderstruck with Skipper Health, Celeste and Bronte. Where we snorkelled in some amazing spots and Had Lunch on Champagne Bay! This made my husbands surprise birthday present even more special and earned me lots of brownie points Thanks guys 😉

Fantastic experience with Ocean Rafting, I would recommend the full package for an amazing full day of fun. The flight exceeded my expectations with the sights of the GBR. The Rafting was so much fun the snorkelling spots were amazing with lots of knowledge about the surroundings. We were lucky enough to be on the Thunderstuck with Skipper Heath, Celeste and Bronte they deserve a beer 😉 Thank you to everyone as this was a surprise big birthday for my husband and I earned lots of brownie points. 😂

Had an amazing time! The flight was unreal, and the boat trip with Benny and James was so much fun. Worth the money and made for the best birthday :)

Benny, Bernie and Dave were epic. Second time doing the ocean rafting day and it is a must do for anyone in the Whitsundays. Vibes were high, beers were flowing, food is lovely and just an all round epic day every single time we book.

Hi! I did two tours with this company, the scenic flight tour, which is promoted as a 60-minute flight, and the snorkeling and Whiteheaven viewpoint tour. The truth is that I am very disappointed in both, taking into account the high price of the package. On the flight the time was supposed to be 60 minutes, but within an hour I was already back in Airlie Beach, I would have preferred those 10 minutes that I did pay for to be able to see the barrier reef for longer. The driver's comments were very quiet in the headphones, so I didn't see the heart of the reef either, since I didn't hear when he said it was there. It also started to rain and a leak was falling inside the plane, which seemed totally unsafe to me. On the snorkeling tour, it rained since we got on the bus to go on the tour. They had told us that if the weather was bad the trip would be cancelled, but this did not happen, at no time did they give us the option to do it the next day. Unfortunately it rained for much of the tour, so the experience was not what we expected. We also returned soaked by the rain and sea water, feeling very cold. The lunch service did not even include water, the food was quite basic, it seemed like a joke that the protein is a slice of salami and chicken, in addition to the small portions of the other foods. I paid 510 dollars per person for these tours with this company, with my partner we spent 1,020 aud because it had good reviews and had tourism award seals, but the truth is that for the price it is not worth it. Better to see other options. I already made this complaint to the company first and their response did not help at all.
