Planes, noise, cold, too fast and very dark
Allirra_C
, Jul 2022
Couldn’t hear any relevant information as the tour took place when there was high flight pattern of plane’s. Each time tour guide spoke about a building or historical factor we were shivering out butts of in the dark outside and not being able to hear. Potentially move guest inside buildings and start speaking? We were all extremely covered with warm clothing.
Was Ok

More of a history lesson on the jail by two young girls at night time rather than a paranormal experience.
We were given some instruments to attempt to detect paranormal activity which was a bit of fun, but could have bettered the experience by having an ex-guard or ex-prisoner of the jail conduct the tour with real life stories
Great

Made some sort of contact using the investigation tools. After years of wondering, I truly believe last night I had an experience. Was a surreal experience.
We were not alone

I was not sure what to expect but really enjoyed the tour. The 2 guides were knowledgeable about the history of the Gaol. I had not expected to be given equipment to test for the presence of ghosts and closed into one of the cells (optional), which really added to the tour. As I was travelling alone I was buddied up with a couple and all 3 of us observed and felt some things that could not have been faked.
Very disappointing

More a history lesson than paranormal, visited during the day & this event was much the same. Very disappointed expecting more time focused on paranormal would not recommend
Response from Host , May 2022

Awesome experience

Rushed tour

I was disappointed in this tour, it was a let down for me, as it was very rushed could explore much, and wasn't given much time in the sells, at the end it just finished and we were rushed out, was boring, wouldn't recommend it to anyone, didn't see much at all
The history of the goal...

The history of the goal was really interesting, me and my girlfriend are from Melbourne so it was good to get to know a little bit about SA history.
I’d definitely recommend it to anyone.
The guides were also very nice and helpful
Great experience. Would recommend.

Not sure what to expect after mixed reviews. Was not disappointed, the guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the prison. We had a great time using the detection equipment as well. Great activity inside of the new area with orb activity viewed on our phone and to the naked eye. Would definitely recommend a visit. If you’re just going there for ghost hunting you’ll be disappointed because that only happens twice during the two hour tour. But if you enjoy the history side then it’s great value for money. One suggestion would be to spend a bit longer in the new section and use a range of the detection equipment, but that’s my only suggestion.
Great tour at one of the most eerie places in Australia!

Our guide was excellent. Really enjoyed reading the stories of individual prisoners on the cell walls! Lots of interesting facts and there’s no doubt it’s a legitimately spooky site… with last night’s wet and windy weather it was the perfect atmosphere 👌🏼
Would definitely recommend this tour!

It was ok, more like a tour .
Have been on a few and thought it could have been directed more at the ghost side and more stories told

Our hosts were very knowledgeable and it was a very enjoyable night we used electronic devices and divinity rods and temperature meters
What a great tour. It was...

What a great tour. It was informative and very entertaining. Our two guides were great and our small group were open-minded. We had two opportunity for a paranormal encounter. All equipment needed was provided. The only change I would recommend was to include a hotel pick-up in the package for a small fee. As I was travelling with a group that did not drive, getting to and from the gaol especially late at night was difficult and we had to get a taxi. I believe offering this option would greatly improve the experience.

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.
