    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.

    Shane absolutely made our trip! He was so full of energy, fishing knowledge and knew the best spots to haul in a decent amount of blue cod and trumpeter 🎣 And what a wicked sense of humour! 😂💕 Thanks for an epic adventure on the water!

    We hired Shane and the Mana for a day of fishing and exploring.. we age from 10 through to 77. It was a fabulous day - we caught blue cod, learnt about the islands, cruised up Patterson inlet to whalers bay.
    The boat is incredibly comfortable. Shane and his crew Lee were really accommodating.
