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.

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.

A great afternoon on the river. A leisurely cruise with very informative commentary from owner/captain Kim. Her knowledge was unparalleled on the history of the river and the area and also the wildlife. We took the twilight cruise and I would highly recommend it.
