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.

The weather hadn't been great so Adam was completely honest and said we can book you in but we might have to be flexible. We got lucky and Adam took myself and Oliver out on the lake. We started in a lovely mist and it cleared for a sunny day. We learnt a lot about the lake history weather and a whole lot more. we got great tips on strokes, and then we had a lesson on knife craft and fire starting in the damp.
Oliver insisted on getting a swedish fire steel the minute we got home and has been practising in the garden.
We both enjoyed Adams knowledge and as good as his word followed up with great pics.

Thanks for taking time to review your activity with us. It's always a pleasure to know when people have had a good time with us. We run activities all year around but in the cooler months going into Autumn it's important to have some flexibility with what we do on our adventure but we always make sure that it's fun. Having the right equipment and clothing is all part of the game.

We had a fabulous morning on the water visiting Wild Cat Island and Octopus Lagoon in rafted canoes. Adam is a mine of fascinating information about S&A and outdoor life in the Lakes. Lifetime memories and childhood dreams come true!

We had a fantastic half day experience gorge scrambling. It was an exhilarating adventure! Everyone had an amazing time! The guides are fun and informative and extremely accommodating. If you are in the area and want to experience a thrilling activity, I would highly recommend! We had teens with us and they loved it.

We had a wonderful trip with Adam in a rafted pair of canoes to Wildcat (Peel) Island and Shark Bay. We were made to feel very welcome and at ease by Adam and our children 7 and 4 had a magical time. All equipment was provided including wetsuits and buoyancy aids, we just needed to bring our swimming things and some water shoes. Communication before the trip was fantastic and we recieved some lovely photos from Adam afterwards. We look forward to another trip with Joint Adventures in the future.

What age would you recommend as the best age for children to do the 'wild cat island adventure'?
Thanks :)

most children are aged between 7 and 13 but it does depend on the child and what sort of things the family are use to doing. The time of year is also a factor. We have also take 5 year olds and 70 year olds but not often.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could tell me the different options available on the 'Wild Cat Island' trip. What are the activities and where are you able to go?
Thanks, help is appreciated :)

We went in canoes to the island going first to the creek, the island is quite small, we put up temporary tents and were shown key places. On the way back the more daring jumped in, we were all offered wet suits. Very good fun for a family trip.
