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.

- OnefatladySan Francisco, CA30 contributionsExceeded expectations which were already high! Jim immediately put everyone at ease and filled us with confidence for the adventure ahead! We were so lucky with the weather and the location is hard to beat anywhere in the world. This was a magical experience full of beautiful scenery, myths and legends, wildlife and as it got dark lots of sparkles. It was a truly special experience which I will remember forever.Written 8 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SarahL4 contributionsHad an amazing day with Andrew.
Although not the warmest day we had so much fun exploring the cliffs and the caves, and we stopped for a whisky on the way back!
Andrew is very personable and gave us lots of Information of the plaes we visited
He was very accommodating as my friend needed extra assistance getting in and out of the boat as she finds walking difficult. He had all the correct safety equipment.
I would highly recommend this adventure.Written 13 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Warren did a brilliant job: great safety briefing, great boat, informative about Cork Harbour and the Clark coast. Loads of opportunities to get close to sea birds, a seal colony and a massive pod of dolphins.
If you have a few hours to spare and you are looking for something really special to do, Warren’s sea life safari is a mustWritten 24 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My partner and I started to question whether it was a good idea to go kayaking.
It was the best excursion. As the light mist gave a magical effect and the overcast conditions meant we didn't suffer from glare or sunburn. We had a few nice encounters with one of the local seals. I would highly recommend to anyone, as it made our weekend!Written 16 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

James was our guide and gave us loads of technically information on our technique which was great. He also gave us loads of information about the history of Cork which was really interesting. The trip was so enjoyable. It was such and relaxed and enjoyable experience and everyone in the group said they would do it again.Written 26 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
