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.

    Today is our first born’s birthday and it is also our last day in NZ. We kept the best outdoor activity for the last. This afternoon, we did our drive out to Skippers Canyon can be quite daunting on the narrow road, but our driver cum raft guide Mark made us feel safe throughout. As he drove up and down the narrow roads, we really enjoyed the scenery outside. Mark was hilarious and made the trip fun and entertaining. The highlighs had got to be the river jump and the swim. My 11yr old son enjoyed so much and he kept backward paddling so that we would not reach the end point. Mark really went extra mile to brought him to have a quick swim in the river before we departed the river. Thank you so much Mark & Team for the wonderful experience and we really had a lot of fun today.

    The river rafting portion of this adventure was thrilling. For those of you who have never white-water rafting, this is a great one to start with. The safety instruction is solid and the equipment they give you will minimize the cold (water). And then prepare yourself to start paddling! For experienced white-water rafters, this may seem a bit tame but fun nonetheless. Make sure that you take the optional jump off the cliff because it may be the only photo (taken by the guides) that you will treasure for years.

    We had a brilliant time white water rafting down Shotover river. The guides had great energy, were very competent and had good safety plans in place in case someone fell in which no one did. Got to opt to get in and float along the river for a bit which we did to cool off which was fun.
    We hadn’t been rafting before and felt very comfortable in their hands. The travel across was well organised and the kit supplied was plenty warm.
