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
- John CPerth, Australia69 contributionsThe other reviews are correct, this is not an easy climb. I don’t know when a walk stops being a walk and becomes rock climbing but this must go close in a couple of spots.
As others have said: be sure your shoes have excellent grip, and don’t go if it is even slightly damp.
I took 2.5 hrs up and back. The walk is not difficult until about 3/5 of the way up when there are two sections of rock where you need to use all your upper body strength to help pull yourself up. It goes on like that, on all fours with one slip leading to serious injury or worse, for about forty or fifty vertical metres, then it gets really easy for the remaining third of the climb. On the way down I got a bit cocky and short cutted across a seep of water. There was sliding, there was terror, amd there was a hard landing on my butt. Fortunately only my dignity hurt.
The view is nice, but NOT the postcard view of Wineglass Bay. To get that you need to walk to Wineglass Bay then on and up Mt Freycinet.Written 18 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Just a short walk to toilets and showers and the bar! Owners Bec and Scully are fantastic hosts and genuinely lovely people. Paintball is perfectly set up with a great course and I couldn’t recommend this more!! This is a must do!Written 15 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The head honcho of the organisation was skipper for this cruise so the commentary contained some personal insights which were great fun. We were lucky to see dolphins, seals, whales and a sea eagle as well as the spectacular coast of the Freycinet Peninsula.
We were booked on the lower deck which had the advantage of external access to the front of the vessel. The only downside was the bento-box lunch which didn't really match the quality of the rest of the offering. That's the only reason for my 4* rating (yes - I know - a bit mean but I do try to reserve 5*s for something that's really really excellent).Written 9 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- melissawoollcott3 contributionsWe couldn’t rate this highly enough! As a family of four this was a truly special and memorable trip. It was all very organised at booking confirmation stage and also on the day. Stephen and John took us through safety and then their suggestion for the morning, they were so lovely and always let us decide if we wanted to anchor or keep on past the beaches. Their knowledge was amazing of the local landscape and waters. We saw seals up closer than ever before, a ray swam under the boat and we saw a giant sea eagles nest. We have hundreds of photos from the coves they took us to, where we jumped in to swim from the boat into clear aqua waters. John made us warm tea and hot chocolates to warm us up after swimming. If we could give 6 stars to this experience we would!!Written 25 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
