The Experience
What your day looks like
The Northern Exposure eco adventure is a favorite amongst avid snorkellers because it is the only Whitsunday adventure that includes two different snorkel destinations. Enjoy snorkeling around Hook Island including Mantaray Bay, Maureens Cove, and other specially selected Whitsundays snorkeling spots, ensuring a memorable underwater experience. The tour also includes a visit to the stunning beach at Hill Inlet, the north end of Whitehaven Beach, and a guided National Park walk to Hill Inlet lookout above the silica sand of Whitehaven. We are the only tour to have direct access to Hill Inlet beaches, where you can explore, enjoy an optional fresh tropical lunch pack served at the beach and swim in the crystal clear turquoise ocean or just relax on the silica white sand. Small groups allow you to experience this tropical paradise away from the crowds. Experience Ocean Rafting’s signature adrenalin-fuelled action while exploring the islands, inlets, and beaches on custom-built semi-rigid inflatable vessels, traveling at speeds of up to 30 knots. The vessels are up to 12-metre semi-rigid inflatable vessels, originally designed and built as rescue crafts, and are driven by 500hp engines, allowing you to experience a fun, high-speed ride amongst the natural beauty of the Whitsundays.
