  • The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

    A unique way to explore Melbourne. Coming from Perth I had to check out the River Melbourne City is built on. Melbourne Kayaks were a fun alternative to see some more of the sights while getting some exercise in. We had a beautiful spring afternoon and the water was still with a fantastic sunset. Watching the buildings light up as it darkened was delightful. The tour guide had some interesting Melbourne trivia as we paddled around. Fish and chips on the water at sunset was lovely, later moving on down toward Crown casino. Highly recommend.

    Jen and Jarrah were amazing guides who were super friendly and fun, but also very professional and made us feel safe. It was a beautiful experience paddling along the Yarra and going through the rapids all whilst being immersed in nature and gorgeous scenery. Jen also took photos and videos which were a nice thing to keep for looking back on, and also gave us snacks along the way! I would highly recommend the Yarra Rafting experience with Warrandyte Adventure Tours.

    We visited Melbourne from the UK to see family and they recommended we did the Twilight Kayak tour. We were a bit unsure as we are both in our late 60's, but decided to go for it ... and so glad we did. The paddling was very relaxed, the tour guides helpful and informative, and of course the views of Melbourne were amazing! Highly recommended, even for old folks!

    We spent a beautiful warm Autumn night on the Yarra. It was fascinating to watch the bustle along the banks of the river seeing it in both twilight and nighttime. Our guides Dayne and Phil both gave great instructions, were very helpful and open to questions.

    Our guide, Barak, was the absolute best! His friendly demeanor, helpfulness, and spot-on fishing spots made the trip enjoyable. Caught a few fish and had a blast!
