Excellent guide and relaxing experience, I would recommend to anybody.. the gorge looked beautiful!
Fantastic little tour. You can bring coffee, water, as its hands free its so easy to glide along and take photos etc. Aran the guide is very knowledgeable and gives great instructions. The kayaks are super easy to navigate and paddle - very easy. We didn't get the slightest bit wet, as you step into the kayak off a pontoon. Tips - free parking in the park, then take the footbridge across to the pontoon. Wear a hat and sunscreen, its really exposed. Otherwise, just sit back and relax and enjoy.
Great experience on the water. Easy to find. Excellent quality kayaks, easy to operate. A great way to explore Launceston. Guide Aran was great
Aaron guided us on a leisurely peddle around the river and then into the gorge, pointing out a sea eagle, night heron and cormorant along the way. It was very pleasant. Just be aware that the section in the gorge is rather short due to the cascades. You will see more walking the gorge path.
We chose early morning as it is usually less windy. It was a perfect morning and so beautiful. I had trouble getting out of kyayk as I am not so fit and 60+ so I just sort of rolled out onto pier it was hilarious. In spite of having trouble getting out I would do it again in a heartbeat. Tour guide was very helpful.
We had a beautiful morning on the river. Blessed with great weather. Only two couples on the tour so guide was very flexible. Kayaks were very easy to operate. Cataract Gorge was a wonderful experience
Great day tour, beautiful views and relaxing experience, Aran was great and super helpful, highly recommend booking this 😊
We had a great time kayaking - beautiful views and weather. Aran was very friendly and a great guide. 90 minutes was a good amount of time to enjoy the kayaking.
Aran made it a beautiful experience For some one first time at kayaking and who doesn’t know swimming it was great to have a tick in the bucket list. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and nature Will do it again and highly recommend Safe and enjoyable
A wonderful relaxing and unique tour of the North and South Esk and Cataract Gorge. Aran was a great guide and the pedal powered kayaks were easy to use
