Whitsundays Ocean Rafting & Scenic Flight Combo

This ultimate Whitsundays adventure combines the best views from above and below the water. Your day begins with a spectacular 60-minute scenic flight over the Whitsunday Islands, showcasing the swirling white sand patterns of Hill Inlet, turquoise waters and the vast Great Barrier Reef from a bird's eye view. You'll spot pristine beaches and hidden coves that can only be properly appreciated from the air.

After landing, you'll explore the world-famous Whitehaven Beach with its pure silica sand, swim in crystal-clear waters and take in the views from Hill Inlet lookout. A guided walk through Whitsunday Islands National Park reveals local flora and fauna before you head out for snorkelling at carefully selected inner fringing coral reefs. Expert guides provide personalised instruction and all equipment, making this experience suitable for both beginners and experienced snorkellers.
