"onto" seems to be what you want, not "on to".
1. They stepped onto a raft. They moved toward the raft, intending to step upon it, and stepped on it with both feet, most likely because it was in the water, ready to take them somewhere they intended to go.
2. They stepped on a raft. They placed their feet or at least one foot on an object. The object was a raft. May

Hello CJ,
I always, right from the very moment I started using this forum, admire your way of teaching or explaining the things.
I always read those threads have been answered by you. I get a lot of information reading those threads.
But as you make me aware about "onto" seems to be what you want, not "on to". I checked it again but it is written
