The Experience

What your day looks like

Enjoy a bird’s eye view of many of the 74 Whitsunday Islands, fly over Whitehaven Beach, and picture postcard Hill Inlet before heading out to the Great Barrier Reef and experiencing one of the most photographed reef locations, Heart Reef. The comfortable fixed wing aircraft offers guaranteed window seats with big window viewing, pilot commentary, and the best views of the Whitsundays! Following your flight, enjoy an Ocean Rafting Southern Lights adventure. The Southern Lights tour offers the perfect Whitehaven Beach tour, visiting both ends of the world-famous beach and enjoying approximately two hours of relaxing at the southern end of the 7km stretch of Whitehaven Beach. At the northern end of Whitehaven Beach, enjoy a guided bushwalk to the spectacular Hill Inlet Lookout to view and capture photographs of the stunning swirling silica sands and aqua water. Snorkel for over an hour at of our “secret” snorkel spots and enjoy the amazing hard and soft corals of the fringing reefs, as well as a huge range of marine life including colorful fish, turtles, clams and so much more, all of which call the inner coral reefs home. 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. 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. The Skipper and Eco Host will ensure guests have a fun filled adventure and personalized service with snorkeling lessons and a guided National Park walk in the Whitsunday Islands.
