Great Experience....
My partner and I did this cruise in April and it was very good. Captain Riley was very informative and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The boat was very quiet and comfortable and I recommend sitting outside at the back of the boat. This is well worth doing, and very reasonably priced. Recommend.

Short and sweet cruise...
Short and sweet cruise with a knowledgeable guide. Worth visiting the Cataract Gorge Reserve in addition to this though as you get a different perspective.

Don’t miss this one
ABSOLUTELY fabulous. Thank you so very much. The best $40 I have spent in Tasmania. The day could not have been more perfect. The water was still, the sun so warm, the Captain (thank you Huon) so informative with a great sense of humour🤩…. Sensational ❣️ (We are going to do it again at low tide for a different experience) Thanks Tamar River Cruises

One of the best activities in Launceston
We took a morning cruise. The captain was friendly and funny, the river was calm, and we could learn a lot about Launceston.
