Meet Your Tour Guide Celeste Cockram from Ocean Rafting

Originally from the Sunshine Coast, Celeste moved to Airlie Beach two years ago and has not looked back since.

Celeste works for Ocean Rafting, however when she first moved here she worked as a bartender and barista, but it was her best friend and partner who inspired her to follow her passion to join the boating industry.

“They would come home every day saying how amazing their day was, and after about a year of that I thought I’ve got to do this too! So I did, and it was the best decision,” exclaimed Celeste.

Currently working as an Eco Host and Deckhand, Celeste loves taking guests out to the reef for snorkelling, up to the Hill Inlet Lookout, onto the silica sands of Whitehaven Beach and weaving through the Whitsunday Islands on the fast yellow boats. She describes the trip as “epic” and enjoys talking to people from all over the world.

When she isn’t jetting around the Whitsundays and hosting memorable tours for guests, Celeste can be found working in the Ocean Rafting office in Airlie Beach. She loves sharing her adventures with others, whether that’s on a tour, on the land, or in the pages of this magazine.

Somewhere new! Somewhere where I can learn a new culture. I haven’t been to many places. I love everywhere new that I’m able to experience! I just came back from New Zealand and love that place. 
 
Fav Music
I love what I call ‘soul’ music. Spotify made the playlist but songs like ‘Wildfires’ by SAULT.
Also, any old rock! A bit of AC/DC never fails!
