Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Yes, the food and scenery are wonderful as others have noted. But our head guide Paul specialized in taking all the fun out of the trip. He came off as egotistical, militaristic and devoid of empathy. Also note that because of crocs, there's only one stop where swimming is allowed.

Awesome trip led by Paul and Blake. Couldn’t have had a better time - the trip was exactly as advertised and exceeded our high expectations. Paul’s cooking was amazing, Blake’s dad jokes spectacular, and both of them made us feel safe in all weather and conditions.
We did average days of about 18kms and had a rest day to swim, rest and read on Wheeler Island while Paul took a few of the group for an optional paddle.
Sleeping each night to the sound of waves breaking only a few metres from where we slept was amazing, while the kayaking stretched us (just enough) and was incredibly fun.
We had a great group of people with us, which made it even better.

Absolutely awesome experience with Coral Sea Kayaking. I rented a kayak to explore the Family Islands. James was an absolute legend; helping me out with any resources he thought I could use and sharing any advice he thought could help. Even gave me a lift to the bus stop when I returned.

We recently did the 7 day Hinchinbrook trip. What an adventure! Yes you are roughing it with no showers , small tents, but the paddling makes up for that and even more the brilliant catering. Our guide Michelle was incredible!! So experienced, capable and a gourmet cook. Breakfasts were delish, different each day. Lunch super healthy and dinners fantastic. You do need to carry the heavy boats each day, but with a good team this is fine. Only a couple of walk opportunities. Bring a good book.
Thanks Michelle, you gave us an fab week of adventure!

Excellent energetic trip for people who are moderately fit. Be prepared to carry kayaks above the high tide mark each afternoon, also paddle distances of up to 18kms in a day. Paul and Max the guides were fantastic cooks as well as looking after our safety, always with a smile and positive encouragement every day. Highly recommend this trip for people who love an energetic holiday and don’t mind roughing it.

If you do one kayaking expedition in your life: This is it! The tour guides led the tour exceptionally well, did everything for you except paddle and put your tent up but everything else! made great meals (still don't know how), gave lots of local information, and made the whole experience one to remember. The scenery could not have been better, and the weather was kind to us even though rain was forecast, we never had more than a light drizzle at worst, one day... The kayaks were extremely stable but heavy and low in the water at launch from Lucinda. They did get lighter as the week progressed (eating all the food ), and if you are a bit concerned about your kayaking abilities, don't worry; the guides are experts in picking the best routes to navigate the swells and the waves (not so good at fishing , Ha ) and in reality, we only had one day rounding the headland at Eva island was a bit rough. The kayaks or "Battleships"plow through the water well and are extremely stable. And as for the staff, Paul, and Max, were the most friendly, funny and amicable people I have been on tour with. I still cannot work out how they prepared and served some of the best food I have eaten while camping, and although they only had 2 burners to create these lavish meals, I give them 5 Michelin stars.
James and his team have a unique chance to show you something you may not get the opportunity to see , they showcase the best of Hichinbrook Island by kayak. In my opinion they are the best ...

Coral Sea kayaking tour around Hinchinbrook Island was exceptionally well organised, provides sensational scenery, has professional and engaging guides, good equipment, prompt email responses, great group of like minded eco tourists to share the adventure. Excellent balance of paddling and island exploration. We have done a number of multi day guided sea kayak adventures around Australia , this rates as one of the best.
No need to be experienced kayaker either. Just take a good attitude.

Our experience with the team from Coral Sea was easy, natural and lovely from day one. From dreaming and planning right through to lunch and farewell hugs all was easy. James and his team give great customer service. And what a product! Hinchenbrook turned it on for us. I think QLD was having a cold snap, it being winter, but we are used to Tasmanian winters so for us it was paradise. The paddle was laid out masterfully. We stayed away from the dark side and never saw a Croc. We did see a dugong, sharks, dolphins , turtles, eagles and an albatross.
Once away from the 5k jetty at Lucinda we felt we were in proper wilderness. Moving between pristine camps we rode current, tide, wind and swell to our benefit. The fat boats were stable and reliable as anything. I felt I probably could have stood in the cockpit and fished while Ruth paddled… even in cross swell. Our teen sons Max and Declan, whose paddling experience is limited, rated fear factor on the trip as 1 out of 10 with ten being the most scared you have ever been. Importantly they also found that five minutes into facing the hard stuff their confidence would grow with every pull of the paddle. All they had to do was follow the example laid on by Brownie and Jen. Both boys have come away brimming with water confidence. Ruth and I, with plenty of expedition experience found the trip very cruisy yet not without moments of challenge to take on. It could hardly be an adventure trip without opportunities to grow and be proud of what you have achieved and learned as an individual, family and a group.
There is nothing that builds my confidence so much as being in the hands of a guide team who know the area and its whims inside and out and can pull the best performance from all of us. Brownie and Jen are both excellent guides and team leaders. Our meals were great, providing plenty of paddle power, no mean feet when 6 of the twelve guests are young men between the ages of 17 and 25. Talk about your hollow legs! My gluten free diet was taken in stride with heaps of good and useful calories.
We had some lovely group building moments both programmed and spontaneous and there was a heap of lovely bonding over music in particular. Ask Jen to whip out the Ukulele as early into the trip as you possibly can. Then bask in the calm wisdom and wry sense of humour of Brownie. You are in such good hands and James must be so confident of the faith he places in this particular team. Kate and Jen were diamonds and angels for us.
Ten out of Ten!!!! Take the trip

The weather was wonderful, the sea and wind benign, scenery brilliant, conversation sparkling, food remarkable. But I was most impressed with the training we received at the beginning to make sure that kayaks were stowed perfectly, and to ensure that the group paddled safely if conditions became difficult. It was a memorable journey and I took away improved practises for future paddling.

It is difficult to pick any faults with this trip or how Coral Sea Kayaking could improve their whole operation. They have the perfect 'ingredients' for one of the best 7 day paddling trips in the world. Combined with fantastic guides - who are very in tune with the groups competency levels and limits and know the area and conditions inside out - the food on the trip was sublime.
I have undertaken many commercial trips in my time and never have I had food that was this good. Literally 'unbelievable' what was served up for us.
The ethics and values of the guides and the CSK (particularly the environmental aspects) for camping on Australia's largest island National Park were brilliant and we also learnt a lot about the local fauna and flora.
I had organized this trip for myself and 7 friends - so I had a lot riding on this trip, if it didn't work out. The trip was so good that all of us have been raving about it to friends and family, since we returned.
If this 7 day paddle is not on your bucket list - you need to re-adjust your aspirations and your bucket list.
