    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Top10Adventures® over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
