Great cruise very enjoyable and the boat captain had a wealth of knowledge about the area. Very clean boat nice slow cruise up and down the river
This is a great short cruise up the river and into Cataract Gorge. Really enjoyed the skipper Huon’s engagement and sense of humour. Highly recommended!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Regards Alfred gude
Only improvement would be to have a live commentary from the Captain. He looked like fun so this could have added to the experience
Hi Kevin We do have live commentary on most of our tours , however if the skipper needs to rest her voice the audio one is sometimes used. Many thanks Alfred

Thank you for your review. I will pass on your compliments to Capt Callum!
A great introduction to the cataract gorge. The discount at various restaurant was a nice bonus. We look forward to be back.
thank you for taking the time to review your time spent with us. Great to see you had an enjoyable time with us on the river
As long as you have reasonable weather, the Cataract Gorge cruise is well worth doing. Only an hour or so, comfortable boat and very informative.
Thank you for your review and joining us on the Cataract Cruise
A very history based and informative cruise. We saw a couple of sunk ships and went into the cataract gorge a little bit. From the river, we could also see the Silo Hotel in Launceston which has a very interesting history.
thank you for your review, we love Launceston history !
