Great River Cruise experience. Best way to see Catarat Gorge - Absolutely amazing. Relaxing, fun and such great views. The 2 gentlemen Tim & James were such a hoot, providing great information, commentary and such good hands on experiences for the kids. Absolutely worth the time and dollars

Wonderful Experoence. - We had a lovely autumn day of sun as we were ferried up and down the gorge. It was an informative ride, with many facts about Launceston, the Tamar rRver (estuary) and the tides. Rock formations and the surrounding boats and buildings.

Super relaxing tour with beautiful scenery and great stories - I loved this cruise. Our guide, Callum was super knowledgeable about the local area and had lots of great stories to share. Going into Cataract Gorge was beautiful. This is a great value and super relaxing tour that is a must do when you’re in Launceston. I do it every time that I visit :).
