Cruising the Tamar - We took the 50 minute cruise and loved it. We went early and there was only 6 people of which, we were 4, so it felt like we were on a private tour. Captain was friendly and informative. I would like to come back and do one of the longer trips

Our guide Huon was... - Our guide Huon was FANTASTIC...perhaps due to there only being 4 of us. We learnt ALOT about the history of the area and modern Launceston. We also came away with ideas of further places of interest to visit. Really appreciated all this on such a gloomy morning weather wise.

Excellent visitor experience - It was very cold, very windy and there were few passengers but the cruise went ahead. We enjoyed the guides very knowledgeable commentary and we were amazed by the gorge scenery. An excellent visitor experience at a very reasonable price

Gorge cruise - Very smooth and calm sailing. Sailing under bridge, getting a very close look at the spans. Huge rocky cliffs. Excellent commentary. Would recommend highly.

Not much to see - The cruise pilot was great but in reality as far as the short cruise goes, you don’t really see much more than what you can see from the dock, sadly could not recommend

Not worthwhile - To be honest you didn't see much more than you can see from the dock. I think this cruise should be cancerlled. The pilot was very good.
