Jenna was a great help booking a camper!!
I am a first time traveler, so was very nervous about booking a motor home. Jenna was such a pleasure to deal with. She was super friendly and helpful . She explained everything and answered all questions asked. She is very efficient and professional as well as upbeat and happy. I feel confident that I am going to have a great trip and it all started with Jenna 🌸 I definitely recommend this company to everyone and of course Jenna ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mike helped us get sorted with an ideal route and van for our east coast trip!! Got us a super discount and was really helpful with any questions we had - a pleasure to deal with!!!
Amazing service by the team at Ratpack. They helped us to book our camper and tours for the east coast, making a really simply a straightforward process, saving me hours of research and deliberation. I trust them implicitly. Never sales-y, or pushy, always glad to answer queries. Took a real interest in us and our trip. Would wholeheartedly recommend.
Tyla was amazing! Found exactly what I needed and even when it wasn’t available, called to check other options. In the end I got a trip suited for my needs & all my questions answered. Will definitely suggest friends to talk to you guys next time they’re in Australia!
Amazing service, friendly, helpful and supportive people. Highly recommend
Mike with the doggo deserves a beer for all his help! Thanks so much
Such an excellent service from Jenna. I was taken through all the possible options for my budget - no matter how many times I changed my mind. Jenna made the process very easy and I booked the same day as I enquired. Would highly recommend!
Mike made the process easy with options we had not thought of. Would recommend 5 stars.
Can’t thank RatPack Travel enough for helping me find a campervan for my trip to Australia! Jules was amazing and super helpful!
Made renting a campervan so much easier!! Jenna was amazing and helped us through multiple different options and dates until we found the right one for us, would definitely recommend!
Really great help sorting a camper car for us. Everything booked within 24 hours of making the enquiry. We had actual conversations over the phone too which really helped us relax and decide what to do. Would definitely recommend
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!
Itinerary:
The Southern Lights tour offers three days in one, including an exhilarating ride to Whitehaven Beach, pristine snorkelling reefs and guided Whitsunday Island National Parks walks. Ocean Rafting offers the ultimate access to the stunning and iconic Hill Inlet beach, and special snorkel sites ensure a memorable underwater experience. The Southern Lights tour visits both the northern and southern ends of Whitehaven Beach. Enjoy approximately two hours relaxing on the world famous white silica sand and enjoy a guided bushwalk to spectacular Hill Inlet Lookout to view and capture photographs of the stunning swirling silica sands and aqua water. Snorkel for over an hour at Border Island, Dumbell Island or one of our “secret” snorkel spots, enjoying the amazing hard and soft corals of the fringing reefs. The main difference between Ocean Rafting’s two tours is that the Southern Lights has more beach time and the Northern Exposure offers more snorkelling time.
Inclusions:
- Snorkel equipment
- A full day at the Whitsundays!
What to bring:
- Swimmers
- A beach bag including a towel, hat and shoes
