At Ocean Rafting we are always looking at ways to improve our business; that’s why we have teamed up with the Airlie Health Hub, who are now providing us with cleaning chemicals that we use both in our office and onboard our vessels. These cleaning chemicals are all-natural, plant-based, toxic, and cruelty-free, biodegradable, eco-responsible, grey water & septic safe along with being proudly Australian.
Covid-19 has caused all businessnes to make changes to their operations but we saw this as an opportunity to change for the better. All of our equipement is regularly santitised both on board our vessels and back at the office at the end of the trip, but it remains incredibly important to us that our practices benefit both our guests and the natural environment we are lucky enough to live and work in. With this small change all of our grey water is now toxic free and reef safe, ensuring that we can continue to protect and preserve the beautiful Great Barrier Reef.

Since changing suppliers just over a month ago, not only have we eliminated any harmful chemicals entering our waterways, but we have also cut out single-use items for disinfectant, hand soap and floor cleaner.
