Southern Lights Tour
Fancy experiencing the Whitsundays by boat but with maximum beach time? The southern lights tour is the one! This tour gives you maximum time on the iconic Whitehaven Beach, you’ll visit both ends of the beach and spend 2 hours relaxing at the southern end. Not only will you get to relax, but you’ll also go on a guided bush walk up to Hill Inlet Lookout to get THAT Whitsundays shot. They’ll also give you an hour of snorkel time at another spot, get those Go Pro’s out and look for the turtles! If you’re a beach lover and wanna work on your tan and get the pics then this is for you.
Northern Exposure Tour
If you love the underwater world then jump on this tour as this one offers more snorkel time! You’ll still visit the incredible Whitehaven Beach, walk up to Hill Inlet Lookout to capture the iconic view as well as chill on the southern part of the beach for food! You’ll get to snorkel at two epic snorkel spots, when the Ratpack crew went out we saw Turtles yewwwwwwwww >> the crew are legends and will give you all the instructions you need as well as pointing you in the direction of the best coral and turtle spots! Did you know that the Whitsundays is part of the Great Barrier Reef? Yewwwwwwwww not a bad a life is it?

Ready to cruise the Whitsundays?
We LOVE a bit of the Whitsundays — these two choices from Ocean Rafting are E P I C and are the best way to see this bucket list destination if you are pushed for time or you want to see it in one adrenalin filled day!
- Opt for the buffet lunch oh my god it’s something else!
- You can add on a stinger suit if you are there during stinger season.
- When you call to confirm you can also confirm your pick up point, or make your way to the marina just outside of Airlie Beach!
Ocean rafting is for sure the best way to see the Whitsundays if you are short on time. I went out with these guys and loved it, it was so much fun, got to see plenty of the Whitsundays, the snorkelling was amazing (hello turtles!) and the speed of the boat was a total adrenalin rush…
Don’t forget to enjoy the lunch and drinks on board (extra cost) and get those shots whilst you are on Whitehaven Beach!
From our RatPackers
I booked my campervan to travel in NZ via RatPack Travel, who managed to find me the perfect van at relatively short notice and with a discount! It was a real help to have someone do the searching and mediate with the company, once they had dates and information from me. Thanks for the prompt and friendly service!
Great service! Jenner was so much help and gave us lots of options to suit our journey. Very attentive and made it an easy process.
This was the best customer service I ever experienced! I highly recommend you if you are looking for a Van or Camper to leave your email address so somebody of their team can get in touch with you. They compare for you all camper hire company’s and you can choose with one suits you the best. I literally talk to this awesome lady from Holland (as I’m only available after 8pm MEL time, so the arrange for me a call with somebody from the EU team for free) and she got our dream van for the most incredible price few minutes after we talked! And not even one day later I got my booking confirmation from the camper company. Their service is free of charge as they earn commission of your booking but this doesn’t cost you a cent. I did my own research before but the deals they give me was way better than I could find by my own. I highly recommend to get in touch with this team and let them find your Van. They literally saved us our fuel cost for a 3 weeks travel from Cairns to Sydney. Yes- that’s almost $1000 they saved us! Go and get your van! You won’t regret it.
So far, so so good. I should have started with RatPack to begin with and saved all that time searching for a camper and feeling like I was getting nowhere. Jenna was incredibly helpful -doing all the hard yards and getting us the best deal. Very prompt service. Thanks for making it so easy !
Very friendly service with Tammy. Super attentive and keen to help us. Got us a discount and one of the last available options.
Ratpack was super helpful! They were extremely responsive and helped us get an amazing deal on two 3-person camper vans. Highly recommend giving them a shot!
Really straight forward helpful and friendly people!
Mike helped us with finding the best van for us for our 3 week trip and was very knowledgeable. With some quick phone calls he gave us the best quotes and walked us through the process in detail. Everything was made clear and we booked our trip in just an hour! I would highly recommend their service.
Great experience with the RatPack travel team! Really went out of their way to help us book our Van’s for two different trips! They have great rapport with the various Van companies, were able to help us book the last available Van for our time in WA and were able to get us some discounts as well. Zan and Mikey were both so easy going, made it feel like we were chatting with friends who genuinely cared about our travels haha, awesome guys! Definitely recommend the RatPack service, will save you time and money fellow travellers!
Mike was amazing - helped me find a van and gave me quotes, a full breakdown, etc super quickly no stress! Just what I needed. Can't wait to start my trip. Thanks dude!
Booked a 3 week trip with MIKEY! Customer service was on point. No Buls**t straight to the point. Saved us a further % on the original price of the campervan and sent me a map of the east coast with highlighted areas he highly recommended to stop at. looking forward to our trip! 🇮🇪 🇦🇺
Highly recommend this company! Mike was incredibly helpful; he gave us lots of useful info and managed to get an excellent deal on a camper for our trip. The whole process was quick and easy. Thank you! Alison and Amy x
Mikey was amazing at helping us plan our 3 week schedule for the east coast. He went over and above to make sure that we were able to fit everything in that we wanted to in the time we have. His knowledge has been a great asset for us making an itinerary. Can't recommend enough!
If you want to book a camper for your trip, you should only do so with Ratpack. The team is incredibly fast and provides great service. No annoying comparison of providers, since Ratpack takes over. They are looking for the best deal and can offer great discounts. they respond individually to your wishes and give you additional tips for the trip. Since there is also an EU team, you could make calls at individual times of the day - simply excellent all around - thanks for everything
Absolutely delighted with the service provided by RatPack Travel. In particular, the excellent guidance and support offered by Jules! We explained our plans and she found a suitable solution to meet our needs. Very grateful and suggest other travellers use this facility. Thank you 😊
