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.

Darren was excellent and showed his genuine passion for giving a great experience of kayaking to his customers. His instructions were clear, had a deep knowledge of the flora and fauna and accommodated some of us who couldn't swim. I highly recommend this experience and would come back again.

I highly recommend Lazy Paddles. Thank you for an outstanding journey!

Our family had a great time on the 2 hour kayak on the Myall River with Lazy Paddles. Darren is an excellent guide, with good local knowledge and made us felt at ease on the river. We highly recommend Lazy Paddles for any river tours.

Excellent kayaking experience with Darren, absolutely beautiful. Darren is so knowledgeable about the local landmarks, wildlife, flora, geography and tidal currents, we learned so much. The 3 kids easily handled the trip, with a halfway stop at a gorgeous little beach. Lazy Paddles even gave us cold fruit juice and snacks. We highly recommend this experience, it is fun, interesting and good exercise.
