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.

What travellers are saying
- Mike SpencerHagetmau, France69 contributionsSpent three weeks in Australia and had a wonderful time. Sydney Harbour is truly magnificent with so many places to visit. You can criss cross the harbour using the tap on top off ferries using your debit/credit card or opal card. We spent less than 40€ for a week, including Sydney Trains to and From Gosford.
The harbour is buzzing with too many wonderful attractions to list. We loved it.Written 22 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Being able to access this beach by ferry is the icing on the cake. Beautiful sand, safe areas and really clean toilets. Lots of dining and drinking options on the walk from Manly pier. This beach for me has a community feel, no sign of posers and influencers.Written 2 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Charlotte ESydney, Australia7 contributionsA visit to Bondi Beach is a must for any traveler to Sydney. It's a place where you can relax, rejuvenate, and immerse yourself in the vibrant coastal culture.Written 3 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Crowl59Thomasville, NC138 contributionsIt is a great place to unwind and regain focus while enjoying the beautiful gardens and ponds scattered throughout the trail. Cultural plaques dot the trails to bring everything into context.
The Koi Ponds were a big hit with everyone, not only the young children. While you feed the Koi, a turtle or an iguana might make an appearance.Written 20 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was her choice and I wasn't sure, although I remembered enjoying the underwater tunnel when I was in high school. It was really good and I'd recommend a visit even if you don't have children with you. It's a deceptively large venue so leave at least an hour but we took about 90min. We ended up spending a fair amount of time around the main tank watching the fish and dugong. It was super relaxing and my Fitbit thanked me for the visit.Written 24 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BayleyAuckland Central, New Zealand24 contributionsWe went to the breakfast with koalas. The tour was great and our guide Bailey was fun and informative. The tour was before opening so it was quiet and we got to see some zoo keepers working before opening. It lasted about an hour before we went to breakfast. Food was standard and decent. After that we got to go into the koala area and took some photos. You don’t hold the koalas, which I thought you did. Still worthwhile.
My advice would be to eat quickly and get the photos taken - you can go to the zoo and if it’s early enough you’re walking around alone which was really cool.Written 2 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tammyBaltimore_MdBaltimore, MD4,160 contributionsDirectly across the Harbor from Opera house with perfect views, sits this sort of chair dating back from the 1800's where Mrs Macquarie sat & watched the boats come in.
Part of the Botanical Gardens definitely worth the 20 minute walk around from the Opera House to check out, nice photo op.Written 1 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EndlessTravelsGreater Melbourne, Australia38,696 contributionsSo easy to get to and absolutely spectacular views.
Transport: best way is to get the ferry to Watsons Bay., than a short walk to bus stop past playground. Or u can take the bus which stops right at steps. U can also take bus to bondi from here.Written 18 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Sure some days there are better than others, but usually its a good crowd. In summer it's almost 50/50 male/female, especially in the afternoons. And what's lovely is that you meet lots of tourists who take their first skinny dip ever at Lady Bay. I've met people from the US, Brazil, France, Italy, Greece, China, Taiwan, Singapore and many other places. So just go with the flow and enjoy. You won't regret it.Written 17 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lockie HAsheville, NC2,366 contributionsWhat exquisite views! Sea Wall Lawn boasts incredible views of the harbor and the city and the party boats.
Star Gazer Lawn is a lovely open park.
Just spending quiet strolling time in this reserve is so peaceful, and yet at the same time, celebratory.
Did I mention they have the best public toilets in the city?!Written 10 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Take goggles and flippers and enjoy the experience out to the rock wall. It’s surrounded by rocks so it’s not for the faint hearted.
But you can stay in the shallows if you want.Written 15 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
