Isabella took to the skies with Ocean Rafting for a bird’s-eye view of Heart Reef, Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach, before swapping the clouds for turquoise waters and a final day exploring the islands by boat. From snorkelling vibrant coral reefs to sinking her toes into Whitehaven’s famous silica sand, it’s a greatest-hits tour of The Whitsundays - and proof that even after ten days, there’s always another reason to fall for this place. - ![Whitsunday Airport Sunrise](https://assets.tourismwhitsundays.com.au/ad24a7f634fe2/assets/6e90d04b-1696-4590-bba7-0d485889aa00/blur=50,gravity=0.5x0.5,fit=cover,h=1024,w=1024)1 ### 6:30AM: AN EARLY START, AN ICONIC VIEW Set the alarm one last time.

Join Ocean Rafting to explore the Whitsunday Islands up close, cruising between picture-perfect beaches and snorkelling vibrant fringing reefs.
