A sailing trip around the Whitsunday Islands is a must-do activity for first-time visitors to Airlie, a town so sailing mad that it hosts the annual Airlie Beach Race Week festival of sailing. Watch the sun set over some of the bluest waters in Australia during this sunset cruise. Early evening drinks, high heels, and the rolling sea don't always mix well, so this cruise is operated by a catamaran - unlike a yacht, the floor surface is flat and there are no trip hazards.

Tropical paradise at Horseshoe Bay – one of Bowen’s most beautiful beaches, framed by palm trees and crystal-clear Whitsunday waters.

Bowen's beaches are the real deal — clear, calm, and genuinely stunning. Think postcard-perfect bays where the water is so blue you'll want to swim before breakfast. This is one of Australia's most beautiful coastal drives, and most people have no idea it exists. Your guide knows every hidden corner of this stretch of coast. Small groups of 10 mean you get the real story — not a scripted spiel, but the kind of local knowledge that makes a place come alive. Along the way, expect a few surprises. Fresh local prawns, champagne, and cheese at one of the most beautiful bays on the Queensland coast — because some moments deserve a little something special. Bowen also has a history that genuinely catches people off guard. It's older than Brisbane, starred in Baz Luhrmann's Australia, and its past is woven into every stop. Fully eco-certified. 100% recommendation rate on Viator. A small group, a brilliant guide, and a coastline that delivers every single time.

Fly Raft Package: Whitehaven Beach, Snorkel and Scenic Flight

ShinYen_C, Jun 2026

10 out of 10 Scenic and Snorkelling Combo Tour 💯

Scenic flight was SPECTACULAR ✨ the courtesy bus driver was super friendly and helpful that he made sure we were on the right bus to the flight tour and to the snorkelling tour after. The pilot was the same, he even helped us taking photos with the helicopter before our journey, service was definitely on point 💯 We got to see the beautiful Long Island, Hook Island, Whitehaven beach, different reefs and many many more from up the sky, super worth it! Snorkelling and beach tour next, we were with Jenna, Gary and Ben on Freebird! Love how interactive and energetic they are! Jenna and Gary are the loveliest people ever, they kept checking in with us if we’re alright throughout the whole trip. Jenna is also secretly a great photographer, remember to ask her for photo when you’re at Hill Inlet Lookout 🤭 Gary has lots of bad jokes so just a heads up, you have to be prepared for that. 😆 Ben the boat captain was very detailed on everyone’s safety throughout the trip to make sure we had a safe and enjoyable time on the boat, salute to Ben 🫡 For bus pick up arrangement, I would suggest travelers to contact the organiser 48 hours prior to the trip to confirm your pickup location and time and if you have any special requests, and keep yourself reminded to be there on time as it’s our responsibility to know our own schedule, to prevent inconvenience for them. Overall, it’s a budget friendly yet fun and amazing tour! I love the arrangement of this tour, combo of scenic flight and snorkelling/beach time, ticks off two of my bucket lists in one go ✅ Thank you Ocean Rafting for this incredible experience!

I had an amazing time on...

I had an amazing time on the Whitsundays day cruise today! Everything was well organised, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. A special thanks to Bella and Dan — they were both incredibly friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the trip. The views were stunning, the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, and I genuinely had so much fun. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Whitsundays!

Had lots of fun and enjoyed the ride! Jared checked in on us regularly and provides loads of tips. Can only recommend the experience :) I would have liked more information about the activity, storage facilities, and clear, consistent details in the text when booking online though..

Best Day Ever - Brett and Conor

Best Day Ever 25April26- our hosts were Brett and Conor who were charged with positive fun energy the entire day. Highlight for me was the lookout at Whitehaven beach and snorkeling with my girls. On a side note my daughter has an severe allergy to nuts and it was very comforting to know all food on the trip was nut free. Would definity recommend to others and join another ocean rafting adventure tour in the future.

1-Hour Whitsunday Islands and Heart Reef Scenic Flight

Zhenghao_L, Mar 2026

The unforgettable scenery

Fantastic journey! Highly recommended Whitehaven Beach and the Great Barrier Reef were absolutely breathtaking. The sand at Whitehaven Beach was unbelievably soft and pure, and the colors of the water looked almost unreal. The reef from above was stunning, with endless shades of blue and beautiful natural patterns. Everything felt peaceful, vibrant, and unforgettable. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited, and the whole experience truly felt like a dream.

Pure Paradise – The Ultimate Whitsundays Reef & Whitehaven Tour

Absolutely unforgettable experience! The Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach, and the Hill Inlet Lookout were beyond stunning. Crystal-clear water, pure white silica sand, vibrant coral, and colourful fish — it truly felt like paradise. The hilltop views were breathtaking and something everyone should experience at least once. One of the most beautiful places on Earth. Highly recommend!

This is an amazing day...

This is an amazing day trip, great value for money. The crew are great and look after everything and take safety very seriously but with good humour. There is constant food and drinks throughout the day which is of a good standard. It’s very organised with plenty of time for the activities. The snorkelling was the highlight for us. We would recommend this trip as a must do when visiting Airlie Beach for a few days, thanks Cameira

Peter_M, Nov 2025

Great day out highly recommended

Wings is a professionally run activity. We had only 10 people on the boat which was a bonus, but even the 25 usual would be fine. It is a big cat. Excellent fruit and savoury platters soon after boarding, pod coffee and big tea selection. Bring your own alcohol and soft drinks, lots of fridges to keep it cold. Good snorkelling near Langford Reef. Terrific lunch. Sailed home. All up a great day. We are a mid 60s couple.

1hour Scenic Flight Heart Reef, Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet, GBR

Jennifer_B, Nov 2025

Leaves you speechless

This is a sensational experience. Just amazing. We were fortunate to be blessed with a sensational day. The pilot was knowledgeable and informative. Be aware that if you have any mobility issues or you are physically big, the planes are small and space is tight. It is what it is and that is what allows you to have the experience. If there was a spare seat on a flight after ours I would’ve done it again in a heartbeat.
