Chukka earns two major titles, solidifying its leadership in Caribbean adventure tourism and destination experiences.

Chukka Caribbean Adventures secured two awards at the prestigious World Travel Awards—Caribbean & North America 2025.

The regional attractions management company received top honours as the Caribbean’s Leading Destination Experiences 2025, while Jamaica-based Chukka Ocean Outpost won the prize for the Caribbean’s Leading Adventure Tourist Attraction 2025.

These awards mark a major milestone in Chukka’s journey as the Caribbean’s premier nature-adventure operator. With operations now spanning seven countries—Jamaica, Belize, Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos, US Virgin Islands (St Thomas), and The Bahamas—Chukka blends authentic local culture, sustainability, and adventure across the region.

Each destination offers guests an experience powered by locals employed by Chukka Caribbean, and the attractions are designed to reflect the soul of their surroundings, ensuring every guest leaves with a deeper connection to the Caribbean.

“Our team of passionate locals has been creating lifelong memories through embedded, authentic adventurous experiences for over 40 years,” said Marc Melville, CEO of Chukka Caribbean Adventures.

“To be recognised not once, but twice, at this year’s World Travel Awards is a tremendous honour and a reflection of our team’s dedication, creativity, and love for what we do.”

Chukka Ocean Oupost: A curated experience

Chukka Ocean Outpost, situated in Sandy Bay, Hanover, is the company’s most recently enhanced nature-based adventure destination offering over-the-ocean ziplines and ocean horseback rides. The ocean bamboo rafting and the Truck Safari featuring a vibrant Cultural Yard experience connect guests with the lives of local fisherfolk, farmers and artisans.

Ocean Outpost offers a curated blend of thrill, nature, and culture along Jamaica’s stunning coastline. With ATV safaris and catamaran sails rounding out the adventure, and new experiences on the horizon that will seamlessly connect the mountain to the sea, Ocean Outpost continues to redefine what Caribbean adventure truly means.

“Chukka Ocean Outpost represents a bold and forward-thinking model for nature-based adventure tourism in the Caribbean,” said John Byles, executive deputy chairman of Chukka Caribbean Adventures.

“What makes this award especially meaningful is that it reflects the

hard work and creativity of our team—from those designing the experiences to those delivering them every day with passion and purpose. This recognition reaffirms our belief that the future of tourism must be sustainable, community-connected, and grounded in authentic Caribbean storytelling.”

The World Travel Awards are widely regarded as the travel industry’s most prestigious honours, recognising excellence across every sector of global tourism and hospitality.

With this recognition, Chukka continues to shape the future of destination and adventure travel in the Caribbean and beyond.
