A seasoned Whitsunday tourism operator has been recognised as one of Australia and New Zealand’s top 10 experience at the Viator Experience Awards 2022.
The new award program has ranked Whitsunday company Ocean Rafting’s Hill Inlet Lookout and Snorkel Spots as one of World's top experiences in its inaugural honours.
The “new hallmark of the best experiences to book” has recognized 220 experiences, tours, and activities in 11 geographic regions around the world – with Ocean Rafting taking a top spot in Oceania.
Viator – a company acquired by Tripadvisor in 2014 – is one of the world’s largest online marketplaces for tours, activities, and attractions.
The awards are based on consistent excellent reviews and booking numbers.
Ocean Rafting’s win puts them in good company alongside tours across the globe, with other winners touring places like Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, and Pompei.
Local Whitsunday tours joining Ocean Rafting in the rankings included Whitsunday Bullet Day Trip – which snuck in at the number 10 spot – and Whitsunday Crocodile Safari at number 11.
Ocean Rafting owner Jan Claxton said the achievement was made even more fantastic because the awards weren’t something Ocean Rafting needed to make a submission for.
“The win comes purely from reviews of the people who have come out and experienced our tours and told of how wonderful they are,” Ms Claxton said.
“It’s such a wonderful positive coming out from the last few years that we’ve all had in the tourism industry.
“As well, it’s all about our team on the water and what they go out and do every single day to make people’s experiences magical.”
