Its was raining heavily that day...

Its was raining heavily that day, the tour guide should have call off the hike because the rain that give rise to rapids waterfall and gushing waters stream along the hiking route. It is life-threatening conditions hike because of the rain conditions, why the guide did not call it off I did not know?
The tour details did not specific need hiking shoes and water proof jacket and operate in all weather conditions when I booked the tour weeks ago. But they change it on the website when I re-visited today.
Any way, it is important to consider the life risking hiking conditions caused to hikers during raining conditions!
Response from Host , Mar 2018
TOUR OPERATOR COMMENT: Thank you for your feedback. Please be aware, the safety of our guests is out top priority. This was a very wet day but there were no safety concerns, and the conditions were definitely not life-threatening. We will be reviewing our information on Viator, to ensure clients are more prepared for the conditions in the future. However, please note we do operate the walk in the rain as Milford Sound is one of the wettest places in the world - its what gives us the incredible greens and lush vegetation.
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.
