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.

My partner and I had an amazing time! We were fortunate to see a penguin before the trip started and saw plenty of dolphins luckily. The tour operators (Steve and Adam?) were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Really loved this tour. Views were amazing and we saw loads of dolphins and seals. Our tour guide Marion was really friendly and passionate about his job. Taught us lots about everything we saw from parts of the coastline to all the wildlife on offer. Loved the boat too, very comfortable and fast. Would highly recommend

Amazing experience, would highly recommend it. We saw 4 sea dragons, tons of seals and snorkeled in an amazing reef of kelp. The crew was super nice and provided a lot of information on the sites and the animals.

We had an amazing 1.5 hours on board, the two person crew were very knowledgeable about the region and the wildlife. They were engaging and even entertained questions from our two children. We saw everything as advertised and would highly recommend this as a great opportunity.
