Ocean Rafting holds Advanced Ecotourism Certification, is a Green Travel Leader and a Climate Action Business. As an Advanced Ecotourism Operator, Ocean Rafting has been accepted as a GBRMPA High Standard Tourism Operator and has been entered into the coveted Ecotourism Australia Hall of Fame for being continuously certified for 20 years or longer. There are only 14 operators Australia-wide who have been acknowledged with this achievement, with Ocean Rafting being the only one in the Whitsundays.
At Ocean Rafting, environmental and educational tourism is an essential part of our operation. With the Whitsundays situated in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, tourism plays a vital role in presenting the world heritage values to the public. We proud to promote sustainable practices and have positioned ourselves as one of the leading eco tours on the Great Barrier Reef.
Our commitment to environmental stewardship drives us to protect and preserve our marine ecosystems. Through our in-house recycling initiative Tins 4 Fins, we transform recyclables into resources that directly support vital conservation efforts. Every bottle and can collected funds beach clean-ups, manta ray research, and future sustainability projects.
By raising awareness and encouraging at-home sustainability efforts, we empower our community to take action. Even those who feel too busy or unsure of how to make a difference can contribute by donating their recycling funds to Tins 4 Fins, directly supporting marine conservation—one recyclable at a time.
