Being a local, I’ve travelled on Ocean Rafting about 6 or 7 times now! It hands down is my favourite day tour. I’ve taken all my family out on the tour when they’ve visited, travelled with friends and even solo. You just can’t fault the service from the crew who genuinely love getting out there everyday and I definitely cannot blame them. PARADISE.
