Independent global tour and activity marketplace and booking software company Rezdy has released its current top five selling tours in Australia.
Two words sum up the clear trends: water and wildlife with whale watching, river cruising and jet boating all top sellers.
In time for spring, Rezdy is pleased to bring agents two new experiences that allow their clients to get up close and personal with some of Australia’s unique wildlife near Perth.
Dolphin Tours and Experiences provide visitors with the opportunity to not just admire them from a distance, but Swim with Wild Dolphins.
For those who don’t want to get in the water, Rockingham Wild Encounter’s Penguin Island Tours combines a scenic ferry ride with the chance to see little penguins, wild dolphins, sea lions, stingrays and over 50 species of sea birds.
The top five selling tours, in no order, include:
1. Koala & River Cruise by Mirimar Cruise with Lone Pine entry
With over 130 koalas and the opportunity to hold one, hand feed kangaroos and see other iconic Aussie wildlife, it’s no surprise that the combination of a Brisbane river cruise and entry to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is one of Rezdy’s top sellers.
2. Whale Watching
Migaloo the humpback has delighted lucky whale-watchers along the east coast over the past week. Whale watching is an absolute favourite for Australians and international visitors with tourists flocking to whale watching cruises on the east and south coast.
Spirit of Hervey Bay, Tasman Venture and Freedom Whale Watching all in Hervey Bay, Ocean Extreme in Sydney and Wildlife Coast Cruises at Phillip Island are all top sellers.
3. Pentridge Prison D Division
Nothing livens up a holiday like a good ghost story. Scary sells for Pentridge Prison D Division in Melbourne, tourists flock to walk in the footsteps of Chopper Reed, discover Ned Kelly’s remains and experience the final moments of Ronald Ryan, the last man to be executed in Australia.
As KarryOn reported on earlier this week, TFE Hotels is taking the 166-year-old property and transforming it into an accommodation and lifestyle precinct where travellers can literally spend the night under the same roof that sheltered some of the country’s worst offenders.
4. Thunder Twist Ride, Sydney
For many Sydney visitors, getting on the water doesn’t mean a Manly Ferry or Bondi surfboard but a ripping, whirling, spinning jet boat ride.
Thousands of tourists book the Thunder Twist Ride and enjoy Sydney with a side of adrenalin.
5. City Lights Dinner Cruise
Visitors taking Kookaburra River Queen’s City Lights Dinner Cruise not only enjoy seeing the lights and sights of Brisbane from a paddle wheeler, they can indulge on Moreton Bay Bugs, Tiger prawns, oysters, calamari and more seafood delicacies.
Summer Bay may be fictional but Palm Beach is thriving with visitors wanting a glimpse at locations from their favourite long running soap. Flamin’ Galah Sydney Tours’ signature tour is also one of Rezdy’s most popular – the Official Home and Away Tour to Summer Bay.
