Smooth sailing, entertaining commentary, reliable skipper
It's only a short cruise but very informative Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable on the local area
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Heath.
Relaxing. Captain told interesting history of the river and the banks
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased to hear you had a relaxing and enjoyable experience with us.
Very knowledgeable, friendly and informative guide/skipper. Thanks captain Katie for an awesome experience
Viator charged us $10 more than if we bought the tickets at the main office in Launceston for seniors so I would like a $10 refund. Also because of falling tides we did not reach the first basin and we were not informed that this could happen .
Second time to go on Tamar River drive for me! This time with my best friend all the way from Perth Western Australia, Mr Charles. Good experience for him and lots stories about Tasmania to tell!
A short but relaxing cruise, enabling you to see parts of Cataract Gorge from the water. Staff very friendly.
Good commentary but boring ride on the 2 rivers and 1 estuary. Probably would not recommend to any family or friends.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. This is a slow paced cruise, with many fabulous reviews on the scenery. We do have a new experience coming soon - A much fast vessel that will take you down the entire length of the river.
Capt Josh was so enthusiastic about his job he gave us lots of information, history and funny stories about the Tamar River. Enjoyed this experience.
Thank you for your review.I will be sure to give Capt. Josh your compliments !
This was a lovely relaxing and informative little cruise around the Tamar. The captain was so friendly and welcoming and he had all the answers to our questions.
thank you for your lovely comments, glad you enjoyed your cruise
