Why We Love This Unique Experience

Airlie Beach Experience Gifts: Explore the underwater wonders of the Whitsundays and beautiful Whitehaven Beach on this snorkelling trip from Daydream Island.

At the heart of the Whitsunday Islands, beautiful Daydream Island is the perfect jump off spot for a snorkelling day. Hop on your super-fast semi-rigid vessel and hold onto your hat as you fly across the surface of the ocean at speeds of up to 30 knots! Spend over six hours exploring the wonders of the Whitsundays, with exclusive access to the dazzling sands of Hill Inlet Beach and Hill Inlet Lookout, which you’ll hike to for views to die for. Strap on your mask and head into an underwater wonderland as you snorkel two fringing coral reefs around Hook Island. With the most incredible array of marine life, including turtles and thousands of colourful tropical fish, it’ll be one of the best snorkelling experiences of your life. Take an exhilarating ride back to Daydream Island in the raft, after a day that’s been like a dream itself.

This snorkelling day trip from Daydream Island would make a super experience gift for a nature lover’s birthday, and a wonderful day to share with friends.

Experience Overview:

Full Day Boat And Snorkel Tour Off Daydream Island In The Whitsundays

"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 packed 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 pick up from Daydream Island daily.

Organized by

Ocean Rafting

Ocean Rafting visits the "Wild Side" of the Whitsunday Islands, the uninhabited islands with beautiful natural scenery brimming with marine, bird and animal life. There are two exciting tour options, the Northern Exposure and Southern Lights. Each Ocean Rafting day offers three days in one, including an exhilarating ride to Whitehaven Beach, pristine snorkelling reefs and guided Whitsunday Island National Parks walks. 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.


Ocean Rafting offers two different Whitehaven Beach tours to choose from, the Northern Exposure and the Southern Lights tour. The significant difference between the two tours is that the Northern Exposure offers more snorkelling time and the Southern Lights offers more beach time. Daily tours depart from Coral Sea Marina North (next to Sorrento Restaurant & Bar) in Airlie Beach and both Whitehaven Beach tours are also ideal for private charters.

Ocean Rafting’s fleet of seven vessels are 12 metre semi-rigid inflatables, originally designed and built as rescue crafts and are driven by 500hp engines. Each vessel takes a maximum of 25 – 32 passengers on our Whitehaven Beach tours, with small groups allowing you to experience tropical paradise away from the crowds.
