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
- Jane Doe2 contributionsIf you are wanting to take your SUP skills to the next level, you cant go past WATSSUP. I had a fabulous time doing training session (aka social group) with Jo and the team. Jo will correct your technique with her eagle eyes so that you can paddle more efficiently with less fatigue. You could tell she’s really passionate about SUP and it shows with the devoted regulars. Cant wait to get back out there! JaneWritten 14 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

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. ⛵️🏖️Written 2 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravellingOzzyBondi, Australia15 contributionsWe 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!

- mrandmrsbeasSydney, Australia559 contributionsMy 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.Written 17 May 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
