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.

A special Tasmanian experience.
Oct. 2023 • Couples
This cruise is very suitable for local Tasmanians and people from the mainland who are looking for a unique experience in this beautiful area of Tasmania. You get a totally different perspective of the river and its surroundings that you can't get from staying on the land. Kim the skipper is very knowledgeable and a character in the nicest sense of the word. This is a trip that you can't afford to miss. We did the 4 hours trip and bush walk. Make sure you wear correct walking boots if you have them.
