Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked at very short notice and the friendly staff member we spoke to went to a lot of effort to accommodate us. We did the stand up paddle board tour at Moonee with Clark who arrived on time with a smile. Clark was very knowledgeable sharing the history of the area, his personal connections to country as well as important cultural sites. Can't speak highly enough of Clark who is also the Principal of NSW's first bilingual school of an Aboriginal language. The paddle boarding is quite easy to do and it is a very peaceful way to travel. We saw lots of fish and small stingrays in the estuary. This experience was the highlight of our stay in the region. Highly recommended.

As real as it gets. Totally awesome experience today paddle boarding Moonee Creek on the homelands of the Gumbaynggirr tribal nation. My 20yo son and I were led by our brilliant guide, Clark and his family, direct descendants of the world’s first stand up paddlers.
Ancient and precious connection to land and sea shared with us through language and stories ... just the best. We had limited paddleboard experience and it was really easy and safe.

This tour is a must do when visiting the Coffs Coast! Our guide was so friendly and taught us so much about Indigenous culture and the local area. Add in some beautiful scenery and it was the perfect way to spend a morning. Can’t recommend highly enough!

An incredible Experience learning about the culture and land of the First Nations people.
I had two 9 year olds who shared a board and my wife and I were seperate. Clarke was an incredible guide who taught us lots about of history as we slowly paddled down the creek through crystal clear blue water teaming with fish.
We learnt about the history of the two sisters and the creation of the ocean. Where to dig for fresh water and how it is filter. Lots of language. It was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Apologies for taking so long but I was just reflecting on how wonderful the paddle boarding experience was for myself and a friend a while ago and thought I should share how relaxing and informative it was. I have referred this experience to many people for its beauty, peace and cultural learnings. We did the Red Rock tour and the cultural history, the bush Tucker and the ease and safety of the trip for both the young and old was exceptional. You guys are stars.

Well priced activity, very informative with lovely peeps! All up wonderful & engaging experience!
Nice intro to paddle boarding. Easy to book and kept informed of arrangements. We had a great time as first timers.
We were welcomed to country and given a short briefing of Gumbaynggirr people and the extent of their lands and language. Connection to country and keeping culture going through the young ones. Amazing!!!
Option to paddle or kayak with our 5yr old. Amazing views, birds amd sea life. Stories along the way. And the muffins at the end were too delish!!
A must do if in or near Coffs! And Red Rock has much more to offer if interested!
PS: the cute rushies are a great keepsake & well priced.

This was the first time we tried the SUP board. With the tips provided by Shane and Jimmy, we managed to stay up on the board all the way through. The Corindi River was so peaceful in the early morning, Shane showed us a couple of interesting spots and shared with us the Aboriginal History and Culture related to the land and river.
Thanks to Shane and Jimmy, we really enjoyed the tour.

My partner and I travelled from Melbourne to Coffs Harbour for a two week holiday. Our full day tour with Clarky and Nathan was by far the highlight! It was such a privilege to be taken to many important cultural sites and learn about the history of the area. We wish them the best in all their important endeavours and will absolutely return to stay at the new Eco Lodge when it is completed.

Clarke provides the equipment for stand up boards etc and shares his local knowledge with us. It was a great morning out experiencing the beautiful scenery and learning about the indigenous culture. The kids loved it!! Awesome experience.

This is a fantastic paddle up the creek with Clark giving lots of local knowledge & stories. We had a 7 year old who thoroughly enjoyed it too. We paddled the Red Rock Creek which is a beautiful spot. Not only do you get a great tour but some of the profits go towards helping the community. A truly great trip!
