Was interesting to hear about the history of the river
A very informative trip round the estuary and up cataract gorge
Thank you for your review Derek, we very much value all feedback.
Great staff, very informative commentary, relaxing cruise.
Interesting information about the geography and history. The gorge is stunning. My disappointment was there was no history about Cataract Gorge and the First Nations people. These are stories that need to be told.
Great tour of the gorge and the different parts of the Tamar River. The historic boat really sets the scene for a relaxing cruise through iconic waters and landscapes.
Boat Captain was entertaining whilst being informative about the history of the gorge and the surrounding area
An enjoyable but somewhat underwhelming experience as we thought we would have seen more of Cataract Gorge, not realising that boat access is quite limited. Nevertheless, the cruise captain did provide a thorough and informative insight into the early settlement and maritime history of Launceston and the Tamar River.
Great cruise. Beautiful city and surrounds. The gorge is stunning and Riley the captain was very informative. Definitely a must if visit Launceston
