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.

- pauldQ72RC5 contributionsWe booked a day of fly fishing with Southern Latitude Guides in late February. Nans was amazing helping with all the set up and provided excellent suggestions of things for my wife to do while my son and I fished for the day. My son and I are very novice self taught fly fishermen and thus do it very poorly. Blair was the perfect guide for us. Friendly and infinitely patient. He did some teaching with us and provided lots of constructive feedback throughout the day. He put us on a lot of fish. We had a healthy number of strikes and we even managed to hook a decent number and land some nice browns. In addition to his pleasant demeanor Blair is very hard working. We fished steady from 8 am to 5 pm and he would have gone longer if we had wanted. All in all an amazing experience. Seamlessly booked and arranged from the other side of the world (thanks Nans) and couldn't ask for a better guide and day on the water (thanks Blair). We will definitely be repeat customers.

We took 2 lessons and would have booked even a 3rd lesson, but the weather conditions weren't good. Would book again!Written 21 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BrynkoruBlenheim, New Zealand250 contributionsWe choose the Heli Cruise / Stay at the Awaroa Lodge Package - This was a totally stunning experience from start to finish - the team at Nelson Helicopters were just first class keeping us updated all the way through the booking process, arranging the whole adventure even down to a driver to pick us up from the water taxi on the way back to Nelson. I would certainly be more than happy to recommend Nelson Helicopters to everyone, and we will certainly be going back to try another exciting trip in the near future.Written 16 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nick BHAuckland Central, New Zealand1 contributionIt was an absolute pleasure to be guided by Josh kayaking the beautiful coastline of Awaroa. His easy attention to safety protocols and boat handling led to a spectacular and super interesting journey into the inlet and around the bay. He shared in an easeful way his deep knowledge of the history and of the local flora and fauna. Stunning plant and animal life on display. Very grateful!Written 23 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- raszirasziVlissingen, The Netherlands2 contributionsWe had a great time aboard the boat. Andy, the captain, was very easy to talk to and could tell us a lot about the area and New Zealand history. Michelle was a great host that had everything sorted and planned. Everything was taken care of, even things for the kids. Boar was clean, food was good, nice drinks on board. Places we visited were very nice and we had a lot of fun with the paddle boards and the beach toys.

They worked so hard, serving up the most incredible meals with very basic equipment. They were both really friendly and helpful, and I can't think of anything further they could have done.Written 10 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
