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 loved this guided walk with Melinda and Hohepa - it was so interesting and we learned heaps. It is such a beautiful area and it was great to have firsthand input from locals about the fires and also the work done by local environmental groups. We learned about trees, middens and aboriginals, fish, snakes, bush tucker, and lots more! This was besides traversing interesting conversations about Australian culture and some of the parallels between and differences from New Zealand. Their previous experience in the national museum of NZ showed, along with much learning and wisdom. They were on time and good communicators - in fact Melinda put on a tour specially so we could go on one before we left the area.

We had a great day joining this walking sightseeing tour in Conlola. Melinda & Joe are a very friendly person and experience tour guide, they did tell us lots of happening in the local area, this tour takes us almost 90 minutes to complete. We all 12 people had a great time there and take lots of photos.
(Tips - For the toilet location is near the Caravan Park from the meeting place or 3 minutes walk to nearby Tennis Courts) As the Fish & Chip shop owners will not be allowed visitors to use it.

Great short walking tour at Conjola Lake and beach. We have never been to the area before and the tour was full of insights into local flora and fauna, history of the area and much more.
The guides Mel and Joe are locals who are very easy going and share their wealth of knowledge about the region.
The tour is run Covid safe (we were just 2 persons on the tour and there is a Covid safe check-in procedure etc.).
The area is great to spend the rest of the day there, we explored nearby beaches and can highly recommend to take the time after the tour to explore a bit further or relax at the beach.

Family of five from Sydney, three children aged 16, 13 and 11, first visit to Lake Conjola. Pleasant stroll around the lake and beach with knowledgable and friendly guides. Recommended.

Our favourite part was the history of the area next was learning more about the local fauna and flora. When we asked questions they answered everything. Joe and Belinda are very easy going and delightful to just chat with. My advice for people going on this tour is taking binoculars for sure.

Our organisation wanted to give back to the communities affected by the awful fires that occurred in early 2020. What better way than joining Conjola Tours to explore this corner of paradise and learn about both the local history and ecology of the area. They were so accommodating, keeping not only a group of adults interested but engaging with three children in the party, one of who had a disability. If you are after a leisurely stroll and want to learn a bit more about this area this is a great option. I also encourage everyone to support the numerous small businesses in this area that need our support, even more since the double hit of fires and travel restrictions.

A lovely and informative walk. I was lucky to be the only customer that day and the weather was great. Very knowledgeable and professional people I would recommend this walk to anyone who is interested in the flora & fauna, we were lucky to see a mob of about 20 kangaroos lazing in the camping ground, which was a real bonus.

Like an earlier review, we also had 3 generations in our group and the tour was perfect for all of us (9 & 11 year old through to 78). I loved how each of us got something different from the morning. We'd expected 1 1/2 hours but it was more like 2 - and we hardly noticed the time go by. Learning about the ecology (and geography) of this area was so interesting. I really appreciated that there while there was a lot of information available, it didn't ever feel like overload.
Thanks so much Mel and Joe.

Hi Mel & Joe - We were lucky to have done your tour earlier in the year. Sorry for being so slow with this message but I just wanted to be in touch to say that you both were the first people we thought of last week. I only have cliched words to say - so I'll skip that. But just know we are thinking of you and are looking forward to coming back as soon as it makes sense to, so we can support your community as it rebuilds.
