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.

    After attending a three day conference during the week, it was lovely to chill with friends. The tutors were friendly and helpful.

    This was one of the Best days out on the water with Andries & his lovely team.
    Despite the 41 degree heat & scorcher of a day, the team continued to serve platters, kept drinks on ice & assisted all guests with anything required all day.

    Andries our Skipper, Host & Chef cooked our “boerewors on the braai” to perfection as afternoon lunch accompanied with rolls caramelised onions and condiment.

    The boat was the perfect for our group of friemds
    Music Adaptors & Speakers had all phone adaptors with great sound
    Boat was spotless, well kept and came fully equipped with High Quality Reusable wine and champagne flutes
    Both men’s and ladies toilets were kept clean throughout the day - not often you find that on a boat!

    The Lilypad and especially the Mega Slide was an amazing add to a fun filled day for all the adults who squealed with joy sliding into the water … I’m sure we were the envy of everyone in the bay!

    This was our Annual Xmas party with friends which would normally be at home but having it on Dreamtime Girl Charters was Next Level

    Thanks Andries - You and your team were amazing and we will definitely be back !

    Thank you to Max and Henry on a fantastic day. We started with Henry taking us on a catamaran sail around the bay where he taught our kids to sail. We then had an afternoon paddle board. It was the perfect way to spend a family day. The guys were so accommodating and helpful. We will certainly be back. ⛵️🏖️

    We took our Irish in laws out on the harbour for an amazing afternoon. 4 hours of cruising the harbour, some time for a swim and a paddle board (all provided) and then our skipper (Tim) cooked us lunch while we swam.

    Seriously no better way to see the harbour. Thanks Tim, we will be back!

    My two daughters (10 and 12) and I booked to do a beginners class with Bondi Stand up Paddle Board. They have two locations that they operate from - Gibsons Beach at Watsons Bay and Rose Bay. Safety is a massive priority for the company and due to a crazy month of weather in Sydney our session was postponed twice due to high winds. The communication from Larry was fabulous - letting us know in advance and helping to reschedule a new date. When we arrived for our lesson, Larry and his offsider were friendly and welcoming. We were soon set up on the beach and had the basic techniques and safety information explained to us. A quick practice of techniques on the sand and it was into the water. It was a small group - just another two participants which meant that we had plenty of feedback from our instructor. Watsons Bay is a beautiful scenic spot and perfect for the local or visitor to Sydney to experience standup paddle boarding. The harbour was smooth and hardly any wind. We paddled over to a nearby beach over crystal clear water. Expect as a beginner to have accidents - wear your swimmers and in cooler weather bring a wetsuit if you have one. You need to be able to swim but the boards have leg ropes as well (so they don't escape if you do come off). Arrive about 15 minutes before your session so you have time to get set up to start on time. The website has clear information on how to find the starting point - just turn left and keep walking along the water once you reach Watson Bay Baths. After you can grab a coffee at the Vaucluse Tea House or Fish and Chips at Doyles. On a sunny day parking can be tricky so allow extra time. We had a fantastic experience with this company for our first time with Stand Up Paddle Boarding - an excellent customer experience - HIGHLY RECOMMEDED.
