Our captain was full of knowledge and humour. Made the trip really educational and fun . Thank you.
It was a great way to explore the region and have many small, historic details pointed out. The engineering to provide flood relief was awe inspiring .
Good value tour particularly for those who aren't able to do the Cararact Gorge walk.

Great commentary with information on the history and wildlife. We got to go a little way up the river and see the old wharf before heading up the Gorge where the driver spotted a seal.
Worth doing

Knowledgeable Captain, interesting history of the river system
Beautiful area up in the gorge, great architecture up on the adjacent hills and the story of the span bridge was also interesting how it was built then duplicated later
Excellent

It was an enlightening trip listening to the very informative commentary of past and present day happenings along river.
e.g. past floods, historical buildings, current real estate prices, children's antics.
Fantastic experience

The cruise was a good way to see the gorge , 50 minutes was just long enough, and there was plenty of room on the boat to move around. The captain was very cherry and full of information
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it 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. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
