I liked the way the skipper stopped in the gorge, turned off the engine making the experience almost sacred. Awe.

Smooth sailing, entertaining commentary, reliable skipper

Over charged and shortened cruise

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 .

"Trip to the North with Charlie"

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...

Good commentary but boring ride on the 2 rivers and 1 estuary. Probably would not recommend to any family or friends.

Operator response

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.
