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.

There is much to see onboard as the work progresses. The precinct already has two other historic ships and much more is planned. In due course the prince will be linked by a walkway to the maritime museumWritten 20 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrea S5 contributionsMy 15 year old daughter loves to kayak, but rarely gets a chance, so with a Great State Voucher won, we booked into @dolphinsanctuarykayaktours to paddle around the dolphin sanctuary in a twin kayak.
Since I haven't kayaked since I was a teenager, I was nervous, but there was no need. Easy check in, warm welcome from Noah and Alex, well and quickly organised into two groups and after some key but quick learning about how to turn, stop, go forwards and backwards, and we were off.
We went into a mangrove channel, kayaked across to one of the shipwrecks for a sneaky peak and yes, we saw dolphins! And a hawk, jellyfish, crabs, fish, various water birds and either eagles or kites in the distance. Alex was brilliant, telling us interesting info all the way through, keeping everyone out of trouble and ensuring everyone was safe.
Superb morning, can't wait to go back!Written 21 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

So we had a personal brewery tour from Owen who was awesome. We had the best time learning about the brewing process, I was in my element as a mediocre home-brewer, and Owen was happy to answer my million-and-one questions. We enjoyed the tasting at the end, and again, because there were just us two, we got to go through a good amount of the beers with discussions throughout. The price of the brewery tour was almost too good to be true. Well worth doing if you’re close to Port Adelaide. We got the train and it was really easy to get to from the city centre. Thanks Owen, and the rest of the Pirate Life gang.Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
