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
- TevoroSydney, Australia69 contributionsExcellent view of the whole of Hobart!
Driving up in a big campervan was a tad tight! Recommend taking it easy up and down the bends!
Whilst it was summer, it was still a tad cold up the top - definitely take a jacket with you. Views were worth it though.Written 13 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had an amazing day exploring Hobart at our own pace and even though it was our first time in an e-bike the guys provided easy instructions.

- Mike Fry2 contributionsA great experience, thanks Rob. Having worked in aviation and as a navy air controller I thoroughly enjoyed being up front in a realistic simulator. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting flight simulator experience or just curious about what it takes to fly a 737.Written 4 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- shemmasSydney, Australia49 contributionsThis was my first ever experience in an escape room. The host was very welcoming and informative. She explained everything in very simple terms. The escape room experience was so good. We had so much fun, there were 4 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed it and would definately recommend anyone to experience it.Written 31 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David S29 contributions4 of us spent 8 days traveling/ sightseeing 1500km on motorbikes supplied by Ian @ Moto Adventure Hobart. 3 bikes in excellent condition. Friendly/helpful/accommodating. No problems at all.
Tasmania is motorcycle heaven. We saw plenty but plenty more to see next time. Weather was great so that’s a bonus.Written 2 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were extremely lucky in that the weather was exceptionally calm and we saw sites that you cannot always see, that said even if we did not get to view these the sights would still be amazing. The tour guides have extensive knowledge about the sites and the wildlife you get to view on the tour. Very good value for money.Written 21 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LaurieDerwentSydney, Australia1 contributionThe things to see from the boat and easy walking onshore made the trip worthwhile. The level of service provided by all of the crew made it exceptional. Their commitment to the comfort and safety of the passengers was as good as it gets.Written 12 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MutinySydney, Australia2,644 contributionsAs a family, we have done many boat cruises in many countries and across different sceneries and this ranks as most likely the best we have ever experienced. Super comfortable boats operating in potentially rough seas with highly professional crews. To see common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, albatross, Australian fur seals, long-nosed fur seals and a humpback whale exceeded our expectations. And then there are the caves, blow holes and cruise-through rock formations. We had extra time out there beyond the 3 hours because our crew expertly interacted with the dolphins, leaping all around us and surfing our bow waves - exhilarating! Our day was sunny but cold (even in December) but the seas were mercifully calm so that we visit a cave on the Southern Ocean side. Totally awesome!Written 3 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jade kWinnipeg, Canada2 contributionsI have just completed the “famous 5 - 5 day tour of Tasmania “ and thoroughly enjoyed it 😊
Our Tour Guide Andrea was extremely helpful, informative, caring and funny and added to the enjoyment of all the fantastic sights and experiences we shared.
I would highly recommend this tour as the ideal way to explore Tasmania and experience the breathtaking wilderness of the rainforests, waterfalls and hiking trails; and the spectacular beauty of the Eastern coastline.Written 13 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Mary DHobart8 contributionsThis tour was fabulous for many reasons the beauty of the wilderness, the guides who made every effort to ensure our experience was the best it could be with weather conditions, the mountain climbs, the small group size, the food, seeing orange-bellied parrots, beautiful campsites and so much more.
The information and communication was spot on.
My original trip was postponed by a day and then canceled the next after flying down and being unable to land. Roaring 40s were so generous to our group considering the weather was out of their control, offering a free guided kayaking tour to Cape Hauy on the Tasman Peninsula and a full refund or the ability to rebook another trip. Exceptional.Written 6 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Informative and funny with the perfect amount of bumps and sea spray to be exhilarating. Thank you Tom & Ollie. 10/10! The seal jokes were very good!

Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Keryl C59 contributionsAfter weather cancelled our Southwest Experience twice and with our departure from Tasmania imminent, Par Avion offered us the option of a refund or a day on Maria Island. As it was a blue sky, low wind day in the east we decided to make the most of it and soon Michael our pilot, Dave our guide and the two of us were in the air, viewing from above where we had driven from Coles Bay the day prior, over the Freycinet Peninsula and magnificent Wineglass Bay then looping around to land on Maria Island. A very inviting cheese platter with tea, coffee (or wine!) for morning tea soon followed, then the two of us took a relaxed walk to the former settlement, stopping to photograph forester kangaroos, wombats and pademelons in the bush adjoining the track along the way. After we walked a leisurely circuit investigating the restored convict buildings we rejoined Michael and Dave to feast on a gourmet picnic lunch and wine on the beautiful fine white sand beach below. Following this and another lovely scenic walk back to the aircraft, it was mid afternoon and sadly time to leave. Returning to Cambridge airport flying over yet more beautiful scenery, before we knew it we were gently landing and our fabulous day was over. Michael’s expert piloting and Dave’s vast knowledge and experience of yachting, kayaking and hiking (indeed all things outdoors!), along with the fun banter between us all, made this truly a day we will never forget. Thanks Par Avion.Written 29 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- OiMan L9 contributionswe enjoyed the time with Luke and Stanley, they shared a lot marine experience and knowledge during the cruise journey. Luke also catch the biggest abalone, but it was sad that shell was taken by another family. We also enjoy the time with Stanley on various topics!
Thank you Luke and Stanley, we hope to see you soon.Written 11 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The yacht is very nice and comfortable and the crew was very friendly and helpful. We saw a huge pod of dolphins . It was a light wind day so ours was tranquil.Written 2 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rodney M4 contributionsA number of friends have recommended Franklin River Rafting as being exceptional operators, and I am grateful I heeded their advice. Our three guides were standouts, being expert and knowledgeable rafters, passionate about preserving the pristine environment, considerate to the individual needs of the different group members, and to cap it all off, fantastic chefs! Personal health and safety were the clearly demonstrated priorities, meaning I was able to relax and enjoy.
The Franklin River is indeed a very unique and special place, and I think we were all personally impacted in our own way by the deeply meaningful experiences afforded by this trip. For me, these translated as spiritual, exhilarating, and lots and lots of fun.
To our guides, Elias, Jared and Ben, you have enabled an unforgettable journey I would otherwise never have had the privilege to enjoy. A heartfelt thanks.
