Not going to lie - was a bit sceptical about this trip. Me and my wife are 52 - we expected a bunch of millennials and a party boat type affair. But have to admit I was wrong.
We were on the joint plane and boat with 2 snorkelling stops trip.
Flight round the Whitsundays is amazing great views and informative from the pilot. Felt safe at every moment.
Very well organised down to the pre order of breakfast before you set off. The heart reef is visible but a bit of a stretch if I’m honest but it is what it is !
Next up is the boat trip to the Whitsundays. Max the host and the captain very friendly and professional. Didn’t feel unsafe at any point. Max made the effort to go round to every group of passengers and have a chat - really nice touch and a nice kid. First stop the hill walk over to the famous Whitehaven beach. Very well organised embarking and everything considered by the guys.
Lunch provided which was actually not bad - nice salad and a bread roll with a selection of meats and salads. Drinks you have to pay for at the end of the day.
After lunch on to 2 snorkelling spots on the reef. At all times safety briefings provided and made to feel safe by the team. Briefing us what to do and what to do if anything goes wrong. The snorkelling is amazing got to see lots of unusual fish including a nemo.
Overall I can see why this company is plastered everywhere over Airlie - believe the hype - if you don’t have much time to see the Whitsundays this is the best way to do it at a reasonable price. See it for the air see it close up …. Boom
Thank you max and the team great day out (you might need a go pro upgrade tho?)

Experience of a lifetime. The helicopter tour, boat ride, snorkeling, lunch, lookout spot, and beach time were all awesome. Views were breathtaking/unbelievable. Crew members Bernie and Rory were super friendly and made it a fun experience for everyone. Highly recommend!

Had the best time! An absolutely surreal experience. Went on a flight with pilot Nick who was so hilarious and really made the experience! I never knew I could learn so much about the local Aboriginal history and also laugh my butt off in one convo! Would fly again in a heartbeat, only way to truly see the Whitsundays and the reef. The next day we did the ocean rafting with Captain Kate and Celeste which was so much fun!!! I would love to do this every day, what an above and beyond experience. Thank you to all the amazing people who made these days so special!

We did the rafting with a young child on the boat named whipeout with the skipper Scotty and Tommy which where super funny and kind. We had an amazing time with them, great atmosphere, lots of fun and dad jokes.
They take great care of people during the snorkeling and help a lot people who are not confident in the water.

This whole day was one of the best on my trip! Bonnie our pilot for the flight was absolutely fantastic and had so much information and facts to tell us - the views are outstanding.
Next was the boat tour and this was amazing. Rory and benny were great and the journey around was so fun - slight pre warning if the wind picks up the side seats aren’t quite for the faint hearted ! We stopped off at Whitehaven and had lunch on the beach before heading to 2 separate snorkelling sights so it was a full day!
I’ve already recommended to family and friends and I wouldn’t hesitate in booking again.

The scenic flight was so well organised with pick up and drop off included. All so straight forward and explained prior to the day. The views were better than we ever thought. I’d 100% recommend the package of flight boat ocean rafting as it’s the best of both.
We had the most amazing day with the ocean rafting crew. They were so inclusive and attentive to everyone on board the boat always interacting and making sure everyone was having a good time. The raft had such a good variety of activities from the snorkelling in the reef to the walk up to the look out of hill inlet. We had Scotty, Heath and Celeste who were all amazing, we can’t thank them enough for making our day even better! Would definitely recommend ocean rafting to anyone looking to explore whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef.

What an amazing way to spend my 50th birthday! Firstly the plane trip over the reef just beautiful. Conditions were perfect and we saw turtles and dolphins from the air. Even better I got to fly the plane! Next the raft trip out to do some snorkelling before arriving at the incredible Whitehaven Beach. What an amazing part of the world. All the tour guides were fabulous. Definitely a trip of a lifetime and highly recommend!

The flight with our pilot Mick was amazing, the whole experience from photo taking, safety briefing and the flight itself was entertaining, fun and breathtaking. Thank you so much for this.
The boat trip with skipper Taylor and hostess Emily were excellent, we were very well taken care of the whole day, both worked very hard and very well as a team, amazing experience and I highly recommend both.

Absolutely incredible day, starting with the scenic flight with once in a lifetime views, and then aboard the speed boat operated by the soundest lads about, Chris and Max who made the whole experience. The views they take you to see are some of the best in the world and you won’t be disappointed, 10000% recommend, and if you do go, ask to go on their boat!
