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.

What travellers are saying
- CraigCambridge, New Zealand3 contributionsA huge thanks to Mick, Adrian and Erin for putting together what turned out to be an epic trip out to White Island that I will never forget!
Great communication from Erin from my initial enquiry, quick answers to any questions and follow up confirmation that the trip was definitely on, made booking a breeze.
Mick gave us a comprehensive safety briefing at the wharf and a run down of what the plan for the day was. What a fishing weapon the boat is - comfortable, stable, fast and with great sound on board - we were out at White Island in no time at all, ready to start the day deep dropping.
For those that hadn't deep dropped or jigged before, all was explained in an easy to understand way - with encouragement, tips and advice offered throughout the day.
Bombs away! - First drop and despite a few tangles on board we landed a couple of nice fat Bluenose for the bin.
Mick worked hard to keep us on the fish and Adrian was a super star ensuring we were all ready for the next drop - whether that was baiting up, re-rigging, sorting out a tangle or hooking up on the jigging set up to hand over to clients. It ran like a well oiled machine with good banter and conversation thrown in.
We caught a great variety of fish - Bluenose, Kingfish, Tarakihi and my fish of a lifetime - a monster Bass.
Do yourself a favour, book a trip with Mick and Erin - you definitely won't be disappointed. Their passion for what they do is evident in how stoked they get when their clients catch great fish.
Thanks team for a once in a lifetime trip! - that's enough from me, I'll let the photo's do the review justice😁Written 29 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They were wonderful hosts, knowledgable guides, had lots of stories to share and really cared about their guests. Their commitment to maintaining Whale Island (working with the Department of Conversation) is strong; they have contributed significant personal time to maintaining the fragile eco-system on the Island. Our tour was scheduled for around 4 hours but lasted almost 6 hours as we were all having a good time and Phil and Steph were happy to just let us enjoy the day. It was an excellent day!
I would highly recommend any excursion with Divework ChartersWritten 22 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Floating down a river in a guided Canadian canoe is awesome!Written 15 April 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
