Ocean Rafting recently made waves at the 39th annual Queensland Tourism Awards Gala, after bringing home Gold in Major Tourism and Transport, and Bronze in Adventure Tourism. The event was hosted in Brisbane last Friday night, where individuals and businesses were recognised for their outstanding accomplishments within the state’s Tourism sector.
Kerr Claxton, operations manager and youngest member of a three-generational family- business, represented the team alongside marketing expert Nathan and office manager Jasmin.
"We're still proudly owned and operated, with three generations actively involved in the business,” said Nate.
“With 28 years of operation, we have had the pleasure of welcoming over 2.5 million visitors to explore the Whitsundays by boat or plane and showcase one of Australia's top destinations."
Jasmin added that "It was an exciting night for the Whitsundays, with many of our region's operators getting comfortable on the podium.
“The Whitsundays should be extremely proud of the unforgettable experiences they offer that showcase our backyard."
Kerr also extended a “big” thank you to all involved and said she proudly looks “forward to future operations.”
