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.

Really enjoyed the Sunset tour. We were given lots of interesting information about things to do in the local area, the history and facts about the local wildlife. The location was gorgeous and the little snack break was a very nice bonus. Would definitely recommend it!!

I am 11 years old and absolutely loved the experience. They gave us charts of animals in the area and gave fun prizes if we were capable of finding the majority of animals. Our tour guide was outstanding at finding stingrays, turtles and more! They gave us complimentary tea or coffee and apple juice and biscuits for the kids. On our way back we stop by the marina and had the opportunity to feed the fish. There were bream, silver moony and even tiger fish. It was an amazing experience. We got a full run through of kayaking before we got started in case anybody was unsure of being out on the beautiful clear waters. I highly recommend this tour to families of any age. Thank you for the delightful once in a lifetime experience! It was the highlight of my holiday.

The family tour was the highlight of our trip to 1770! This is a must! We’ve hiked around the coast but enjoying the area from - and in - the water added a magical perspective. Janina shares fascinating knowledge about the marine and bird life, and it’s beautifully paced to be exciting and also serene. Just superb.

What a lovely way to spend a morning, paddling round the estuary and investigating the sandbanks. We did the nature tour which did not disappoint. Knowledgable and friendly guide who even introduced us to the local celebrity ship’s cat (highlight for us cat lovers). Nice steady pace so had plenty of time for photos and looking for critters in the pools. (Sorry Janene, still not a fan of those soldier 🦀). Would highly recommend if you like being on the water or just interested in finding out about the environment 1770.

I would not recommend this tour for anyone who's not experienced at using Kayaks.
You need to be fit and average weight.
The proprietor is very abrupt /rude and has bad customer service.
Read all the fine r print 1st and don't book until everything is clarified.
He doesn't reply to messages.
Very disappointing.

Dear Tracey, thank your for your feedback. We strive to reply to every message, email and voicemail we receive. If we did not reply to you, perhaps it could be that you made a mistake with the email address or phone number. I have gone back through 3 months worth of text messages, emails and voicemails and I can not find one that was unanswered. In case it did actually slip under our radar for some reason, we do apologise if in this instance, we didn't reply. No one is perfect. We are also sorry that you felt the Owner was abrupt, it certainly is never anyones intention and Simon is a very friendly, open and experienced guide. It is disappointing that you felt different. And yes, you should read all the details we provide before booking and yes, you do need to have a little fitness do do a 2.5hr kayak tour and if you exceed the maximum load limit of 120kg, there is not much we can do. Some days are certainly harder than others due to weather/currents and not every day is suitable for beginners. We have been doing this for a long time, are very experienced and if we suggest it may not be suitable for beginners on a certain day it is for your own enjoyment/safety. We do not like to turn people away, believe me.
