Great crew , easy... - Great crew , easy booking,and parking , the capttain was fountain of information, yet the conversation seemed more about the value if property and very little or nothing about the indigenous peoples.

Thoroughly enjoyable - Awesome way to see parts of Tasmania. Lisa was working non stop and ensured everyone was catered to, Callum our captain was a fountain of knowledge, could not have asked for a more informative guide. Well worth it in our opinion.

Relaxing Tamar river cruise - Very relaxing, interesting cruise. I learnt a lot about Launceston that I didn't know. Morning tea and lunch was delicious.

Peaceful and relaxing cruise - I struggled planning a trip to Tassie with my partner and his elderly grandmother, since most of the things I would normally do are quite active. I booked this as something his grandma would enjoy. It was a nice quiet cruise - only about 15 of us, pretty much all older couples. We saw that they take a maximum of 60, which we imagine would have changed the vibe significantly. I enjoyed the view from the front of the boat, as well as the upstairs deck. My partner and his grandma were quite happy to enjoy the view from the comfort of the lounge style seating inside. Highlights for me were the short cruise up Cataract Gorge and going under Batman Bridge with all the whirlpools. We had morning tea and the wine tasting on the way up, along with informative commentary from the captain. On the way back we were served lunch (lovely array of sandwiches with some cheese and crackers and cut fruit) and just enjoyed the views. All of the staff were friendly and approachable, and we all enjoyed it immensely.

Pleasant cruising - Great commentary and the staff were excellent. We enjoyed learning more about the history of the region. There was plenty of food with morning tea and a selection of rolls for lunch and a local wine and beer tasting. A very pleasant trip.

Lots of commentary - restricted areas for talking. - A nice cruise if you wish to hear 3+ hrs of commentary up the river and back. Not ideal for groups catching up and talking while enjoying the cruise, unless you are prepared to stay in the lower deck with limited views and airflow. Ideally the skipper should have noise cancelling air plugs or a closed off area so the top deck is available to enjoy the view as well as socialise without feeling uncomfortable. Morning tea and lunch was very good.

Relaxing, informative. - Cataract Gorge and information regarding river wildlife. One regret is that the exterior seating at the rear of the boat has been done away with. When I did this river trip March 2023, the seating was there. It was a wonderful experience to sit there at times during the trip. I recommend that you restore this seating!
