- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, 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.

What travellers are saying
- Cherry D1 contributionWe had a fantastic time in a double kayak. Kerrie set us up perfectly. The waters were great for paddling and stopping at the north point of Bribie Island. Very interesting to get up close to where the water broke through .
We are so glad we did it. Thanks again.Written 24 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa P1 contributionWe booked two jet skis for four people for the Glasshouse Twister Tour on 8/1/2025. Upon arrival, we found that one jet ski was still available, and Elle was incredibly flexible in letting us book the second jet ski on the spot. This made our little group of four the only participants on the tour, which felt like a private adventure!
Elle was absolutely fantastic—fun, knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating, especially since two of our friends don’t speak much English. She went out of her way to make everyone feel comfortable and included.
The ride itself was phenomenal! The route through the mangroves offered stunning sights, and the views of the Glasshouse Mountains were truly unforgettable. It was the perfect mix of adventure and natural beauty.
We cannot recommend Elle enough! This tour was a highlight for all of us, and we’ll definitely be back next time we have overseas guests.Written 14 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We have done other tours but this was by far the most fun we have ever had. Jonti was such an amazing guide we were laughing before we even got in the water!Written 17 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LucBrisbane, Australia456 contributionsGolden Beach Hire was great. It’s a stunning place to go for a kayak. The service was friendly and helpful. And they provide an easy link for how to find them for out of towners. Would go back.Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert P1 contributionI was bored and visited bills boat hire. Nice and friendly staff with Great customer service and great instructions for a first timer on a sup.
Highly recommend bills boat hireWritten 22 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Darrell LPerth, Australia45 contributionsHad a great 1 hr SUP. My wife and I had never tried previously so don’t let that put you off having a go. A quick few minutes explaining what to do and off we went. Managed not to fall off so that was a positive. Nice quiet location and plenty of shallow water for you to practice in.Written 11 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
