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.

Sarah took us out for a sunset SUP tour. Absolutely perfect weather. Sarah was great with working out timing so we paddled up on slack water and back with a slow current. There were 7 in our group with a range of skill sets and she managed really well to keep the younger ones challenged and engaged and let the older ones relax and enjoy the paddle. Beautiful scenery and very easy paddle. Highly recommend Venture Out. Thanks for such a great time Sarah, the kids have flagged this as one of the highlights of our trip!

Brought the kayak and dine experience. It was fantastic! Staff very helpful when we arrived and enjoyable paddle up the river to a great winery doing lovely food and great wine! Trip included one main meal and a glass of wine (or a paddle of tasters). Staff were great. Would highly recommend.

A truly excellent group tour kayaking down the Nicholson River. Sarah was a fantastic guide and group leader.
The weather was perfect, the equipment provided was great. A really good way to spend a few hours.

Fantastic service and a great family day out! We hired 4 bikes ( ebikes) for a half a day ride to Lake Tyers and back. The Venture Out staff provided us with the necessary equipment and tips of best route to take. The ride out has a couple of hills but nothing too strenuous that the ebikes can't handle. A lovely lunch out on the deck at the Tavern in Lake Tyers before a ride back. Most of the path is off main roads and a fantastic activity to do with teenagers or older children. Highly recommended.

Blessed with a beautiful day for kayaking on the island hopping tour. Our guide Sarah was great and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and plentiful bird life. We also took a stop to walk up a short track to a viewing platform to look over the Lake and islands. All in all a fun experience in a beautiful part of the world!

Thoroughly enjoyed our bike ride on the rail trail. Venture Out staff at Lakes Entrance friendly & helpful. It was a great option to be driven to the rail trail, to avoid riding on the road. We were dropped off at Swan Reach and picked up at Nowa Nowa, stopping for lunch at Bruthen. Sarah was great, accommodating, punctual, notified us of possible burning off in the area, kept in touch and gave us an option to be flexible regarding pick-up location. No problems with the bikes, great experience!
