Four Rules This Site Runs On
Published so you can hold the site to them.
Placement
No pay-to-play
Operators cannot buy placement or favourable coverage in these guides.
Freshness
Dated reviews
Each page carries a last-reviewed date. When a fee changes or a route shifts, the page is updated rather than quietly left to rot.
Numbers
Ranges over false precision
Where prices fluctuate you get a range and the conditions that move it, not a fake exact figure that is right for one week.
How a Figure Gets Onto This Site
The posted schedule and the enforced schedule occasionally drift apart.
The checking loop
- Fees checked against the schedule posted at park entry points
- Then confirmed with at least two operators currently running the routes
- Timings taken from logged trips, not estimated
- Boat and stay prices sampled from live quotes in both high and low season
The disclosure
- This site earns its keep when readers book through the operator network enquiries are routed to
- That relationship is stated plainly so you can weigh it
- It does not change the content: park fees are the park's fees
- Where a cheaper option is better for you, the pages say so

Questions About How This Is Made
Corrections are genuinely welcome.
Found Something Wrong?
Corrections carry more weight here than compliments. If a fee has moved or a route has shifted, say so and the page gets updated.
