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.

- jochris03Brisbane, Australia3 contributionscan’t believe there are salties right in the heart of Darwin City! It was scary at first but it was a bit relaxing once you’re in the cage 😅Written 28 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dyan H4 contributionsHead to the beach just before the sunset to see an amazing transformation of the sun. As it lowers it changes to a bright red giving a spectacular glow.

- bobjanhBrisbane, Australia2,179 contributionsWe did the 1.3km each way walk from the car park into the lower Cascades: a lovely, generally shady walk with the last 150m a bit of a rock scramble.
The reward is some delightful little cascading falls and rock holes that are just delightful to take a dip kin: croc free.
One of our favourite spots visite during our four days at Litchfield national park.Written 31 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I walked along one of the trails--the Woodland Walk--and, although not disappointed with a scattering of animals, birds, and thick bush, was not especially impressed either. Then, many years later, after I had forgotten this experience, I decided to walk, with my partner, around another trail--the Jungle walk--assuming I would experience the same feeling of mild satisfaction. But, actually, the Jungle walk, embedded in Monsoon rainforest, was surprisingly lush and peaceful. The trail snaked its way through some stunning trees, shrubs, and land. We were surprised at how such obvious beauty, only a 15 to 20 minute drive from the CBD, was overlooked by most locals, including usWritten 12 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DeniseLGoodfellowDarwin River, Australia14 contributionsA colleague ad I carried out the original fauna surveys of Mantom Dam in the 1980s and we spotted what appeared to be estuarine crocodiles in the pools left after the dam had been drained. However, their presence was not acknowledged for years. I advise against swimming.Written 15 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
