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.

Totally loved this tour. We had an amazing guide who shared his love and knowledge of the country. It was extremely interesting, informative and gave us amazing insights into how the indigenous peoples of this area lived.

What a fabulous tour. Even though the weather was not the best we all enjoyed our introduction to the Gunditjmara country, culture and history ..... for one of our party (an English visitor) it is still the favourite experience of our 23 day road trip around south east Australia. The food at the aquaculture centre was lovely, another English visitor tried his first taste of kangaroo and gave it the thumbs-up.

It's wonderful to hear that you had a fabulous tour despite the less-than-ideal weather. The introduction to Gunditjmara country, culture, and history often leaves a lasting impression on our visitors and we are so pleased that your tour with us was your favourite experience during your 23-day road trip around southeast Australia. Thanks also for your positive feedback on the food at the Aquaculture Center, including that you, an English visitor tried kangaroo for the first time and has given it the thumbs-up, adds another delightful dimension to the overall experience. Thanks for sharing yoru memories of your Aussie road trip!

The weather was dreadful, wet and windy, but it was an interesting and great experience. Our guide, I think it was Aaron, certainly knew all the facts about it being a cultural heritage site, and he was particularly knowledgeable about all the animals. We saw inside a cave and the channel areas where the eels had been farmed thousands of years ago.
My sister and I had an eel tasting plate which we thought was very appealing and tasty. I would have preferred a warmer and clearer day, but was glad I had been there.

It's great that you had a great experience on our 2 hour cultural tour, despite the challenging weather. The fact that the region's weather is often wet and windy is important to its flora and fauna. It's also great to hear that your guide was well-versed in the cultural heritage aspects and had extensive knowledge about the local animals. We're glad that the eel-tasting plate added a flavorful touch to the journey. While a warmer and clearer day might have been preferable, it's commendable that you embraced the experience and left with a positive perspective. Kudos to you for making the most of the opportunity!

We did the whole-day tour. Can't speak highly enough of it, what an experience! Learning about the culture, food-farming and other practices of our ancient First Nations Gunditjmara Peoples was affirming and enriching for new Australian migrants like ourselves. An amazing journey for us. Our guide Braydon was outstanding.

Braedon was a fantastic guide, full of stories and enthusiasm. This really made the tour for us as we came to lean more about our country and the Gunditjmara people. Amazing to think that stone artefacts were found under the lava flows dated 37,000 years ago. Not only are these Dreamtime stories but proven factual accounts of the oldest living history in the world. The Tae Rak aquaculture centre and bird hide buildings are wonderful. I was really glad they had recently removed the weeds from some of the ell trap channels - they should be allowed to do more protection and building of the eel traps and to practice the traditional culture.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's fantastic to hear that Braedon's storytelling and enthusiasm added so much value to your tour. Learning about the rich history of the Gunditjmara people and the discovery of stone artefacts dating back 37,000 years is always awe-inspiring. The combination of Dreamtime stories and proven historical accounts truly makes it a unique experience for our visitors. It's great to know that you appreciated the Tae Rak Aquaculture Center and bird hide buildings, and your support for the protection and restoration of the eel traps and the practice of traditional culture is appreciated.

I had the most amazing day on this tour. Reuben, our guide was knowledgeable, funny and an amazing story teller. He also had an impressive ecological / scientific knowledge. The landscape and culture are so beautifully intertwined. After hearing descriptions and stories from Reuben, you would suddenly look again, and see the landscape through a different lens. I cannot rate this tour highly enough and plan on returning with my teenage boys.

A fantastic tour! We felt truly privileged to learn from the staff at Budj Bim.
More Australians need to visit and learn from the amazing sites and brilliant staff members. The tasting platter was also lovely.
There were some water challenges at the site, so call the centre to clarify what the situation will be.

We expected a lot because of the UNESCO listing and our tour exceeded expectations. Our guide was sensational and we learned heaps about his culture and amazing history and the eels! Lunch was a tasty variety of local produce. We could have spent more than a day chatting and exploring.
