Disappointed

We traveled from the north island for this experience. Our trip was cancelled at 9.30pm night before leaving us no time to find another operator. Poor service as far as we are concerned.
Response from Host , Feb 2022
Hi Rosina,
Thank you for your message and we are very sorry about the cancelled kayak trip.
Unfortunately with our guide being sick, we could not offer the trip you had booked and Steve did offer a rental kayak as an alternative.
Prior to Covid, we had 15 staff - these days we operate with a staff of four including one main guide, who called in sick on Saturday evening.
We were concerned initially that there was a risk of Covid in which case we would have been close contacts and the business would have had to shut while we self-isolated. These are difficult times.
We are very sorry you were disappointed but please be assured Steve did try very hard to get a replacement guide and to offer a suitable alternative.
He was reluctant to ring you at 9.30pm at night hence the text message. We will definitely take that feedback on board for the future though.
If there is any way we can make up for this experience, please let me know. If your travels bring you this way another time, we would be more than happy to offer you a free day kayak rental.
These Covid times are very difficult for tourism businesses such as ours due to our limited capacity but we are trying our very best.
With our best wishes,
Juliet & Steve Gibbons

We had a stunning day with a really knowledgeable guide who was flexible and reassuring. Delicious lunch too!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it 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. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
