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.

My experience with Kangaroo Valley Safaris was fantastic. My friends and I booked an overnight kayaking trip with Martin, and despite never having kayaked the area before, we felt very well taken care of. Martin was extremely accommodating and adaptable, especially considering the changeable weather conditions we were dealing with. He made proactive suggestions and adapted the timing of our trip with good humour, ensuring that we had the best possible experience.
The quality of the gear Martin provided was excellent - we had everything we needed and more and all equipment functioned without a glitch. The logistics of the trip were also very smooth, which was a relief since our group comprised various levels of experience. I would highly recommend Kangaroo Valley Safaris to anyone looking for an exciting and well-organized adventure in the beautiful Kangaroo Valley. Martin's expertise, good humour and professionalism made our trip unforgettable, and we can't wait to book another adventure with him in the future!

We’ve just finished our kayak experience and wow… what a wonderful time we had.
We called to book and the advice was to get two kayaks rather than a canoe for our family of four (2A2C).
We took the 9am booking which meant our trip down the river was in the morning rather than the heat of the day.
The staff at the booking office gave directions to the canoes and were friendly.
The man at the canoes gave us concise instructions and the mini bus driver at the end was a great guide to some local landmarks.
Overall we had a wonderful experience and once the kids are older we’ll be back once the kids are older and can paddle us down the river ;)

We purchase the day tour (2 hours) from the bridge to the Bendeela camping ground. It was for 2 adults and 2 children (12 and 9 years old) so we have 2 twin kayaks. The check in was easy. A staff member gave us all the equipment, some instructions and some tips, it was really great. After that, off we go by ourselves. Although, it says 2 hours, we were allowed to stay as long as we want. We end up with just over 3 hours on the water. We stopped in the middle to take some pictures, enjoy the water and go again. The rapids were really fun for the boys. Great experience. Beautiful place.

Thank you to the Kangaroo Valley Safaris team for the hassle-free hire of two canoes to make our overnight trip up the Shoalhaven River Gorge. These are some of the most beautiful & ancient river valley landscapes you will ever see.... and only accessible by canoe - paddling through 600m deep gorge country that, as you wind your way around each bend in the river, the spectacular beauty just takes your breath away. It was so easy to book online, and the KVS team provided us with vets and drums in the hire fee....and we enjoyed a great coffee at the cafe before we set off! A GREAT weekend - we will be back! Thank you Kangaroo Valley Safaris:)

We have stayed at kangaroo valley a few times but never used the kayak hire until our most recent stay. We travelled from nimmitabel and were helped by a great guy called Adam who worked for the safaris and couldn’t recommend him and his team enough! Thanks so much again and we will be back again! :)

This was a very easy and hassle-free way to get out on the river - we left Hampden Bridge and experienced a couple of little 'rapids' and it was with the current so not a lot of paddling was needed. We had a couple of swim/snack stops on the riverbank on the way and made it to the picnic area in exactly 2 hours and boarded the bus back to the town straight away We could have stayed longer as the last bus departs at 4pm too. Adam and his team were very approachable and helpful and we had a great time. Highly recommended!

Family business, friendly, most helpful advice without sales hype. Variety of kayaks and canoes and trips.
Martin was flexible, informative and helpful in so many ways.
My wife and I did 3 hours leisurely paddle from KV to Bendeela, stopping for snack and BYO lunch. Romantic, delightful, beautiful, serenity plus.
Fun small rapids early.
Highly recommend this for anyone weary from urban noise and bustle.
The longer trips sound attractive. They have lots of options so I imagine it would be good for groups and team building activity.

We did a 2 nights/3 days trip and it was amazing! Being one with nature seeing the incredible landscape was a true adventure. I would definitely recommend going 2 nights if you want to really explore the river. Kangaroo Valley Safaris were very helpful and gave us the proper guidance prior to the trip.

Excellent trip down the Kangaroo River with a free shuttle back to our starting point. The rapids were extremely mild and our child of 10 easily navigated them. We all wished there were more. Beautiful scenery, idyllic. We were taken care of and given a small talk at the beginning. Would absolutely recommend.

Glenn was fantastic. When he's not sure if we paid for his company's service, he let us have the canoes. Later when the other vendor finally turned up, he just let us change to the other vendor without any unpleasant attitude or charging us. When we found the other vendor's equipment was not right for us, Glenn again stepped up and provided the canoes to us. We cannot thank him enough for his kindness and great service.
