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.

I thoroughly enjoyed my morning trip yesterday along the Brunswick River. The river, the scenery and the wildlife were inspiring, and I remarked that the trip was "good for the soul". Both Simon and Rob were great guides, and provided a lot of interesting historical and wildlife information. Oh yes, the cakes and coffee were also great!

Is how our party of 11 felt during and after our sensational sunset cruise. Much gratitude to Simon and Rob for creating an easy and fun atmosphere for all ages to enjoy, relax, learn, and have some communion with the river and with each other. Planning another cruise with them soon!

This was an amazing morning on the water for our family of four. Rob our guide was very knowledgeable about the native birds, fish and flora. We paddled our kayaks up a lovely little river tributary and then floated and paddled back with the tide. A lovely morning.

This was a last minute decision, recommended by the host at our accommodation. Couldn’t have been better! The staff was brilliant, friendly and informative. Just our kind of trip. Lots of beautiful local wildlife and interesting local stories, we enjoyed this and the company of both the staff and the other passengers. The trip passed quickly and we had drinks and lovely cake en route! Highly recommend!

From the very first phone enquiry with Lorraine we very impressed with the service and personal attention that was given.
On the day both the skipper and first mate were friendly and knowledgeable. They catered to all our needs and went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we had a wonderful few hours.
The boat was well equipped, comfortable and it was a smooth cruise up the river enjoying the beautiful scenery and the peace and tranquility.
With 2 small children on board it was refreshing to see how accomodating the crew were to ensure their safety and keep them interested and occupied.
Thank you all so much. It was truly a memorable event for all our family.

Myself and the family done the cruise yesterday and it absolutely amazing from the astonishing views to the kindness and happiness being spread by the staff members. The river views were very mind opening and we were introduced to a lovely amount of different types and of birds a long the journey. We were served with plenty of snacks and extremely delicious refreshments. I 100% recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip up the river with enthusiastic and well informed commentary from our guides. Lots of birdlife and beautiful estuarine flora and an understanding of the challenges the region has faced with logging etc.
On top of that an great tapas was provided (as good as any ploughman's lunch we've had) and drinks. I went the extra mile with a gin cocktail with finger lime, mint and a spicy ginger beer, all using local products. The picture is of an eagle taking flight.

My daughter gave me a Morning Cruise voucher for my 80th Birthday, so my wife and I booked on this In January . Being Travel Agents we have toured the World, and found this to be very well done , with local expertise on the river and its flora and fauna. The knowledgeable guys made it extremely interesting and we were able to see many of the birds, fish etc that we would certainly never have been able to see independently. Extremely good coffee and cakes were also served. Well worth the couple of hours or so on this lovely river.

Every thing was perfect on the cruise. Simon's narrative was interesting, accurate, and entertaining. The scenery was stunning, both at the estuary and up river. These generous hosts provided a delicious morning tea that was brought up to us on the top deck. Very highly recommended!

The tour operaters are fantastic. They are easy to communicate with prior to the tour and then on the day they are very friendly and encouraging of everyone, adults and children.
Any questions we asked were welcomed and honestly answered.
Time was given to enjoy the birdlife in the area as well as point out things of interest.
This is well worth doing if you are looking for a relaxing enjoyable 2 hours on the river. If I am in the area I would do this again.
You could not meet a couple of nicer guys than we had today.
