Good look around with some interesting facts. - It gives you a good look up and down the river and takes you into the first part of the. Cataract Gorge (note to get to the main part you have to either drive or walk in) - so worth it, we almost made the mistake of not driving over … the First Basin is by far the spectacular part of the gorge. Commentary on the tour was informative and interesting - with some humor injected. Good way to spend 50 mins - especially on a sunny day!

Beautiful gorge with plenty of photo opportunities - The gorge was beautiful and worth seeing. It’s only a short trip as the part of the gorge that can be accessed by boat isn’t very long. We went back to walk further into the gorge which is well worth doing

Disappointing - Unfortunately we paid for a cataract gorge cruise and we never went there. We just did a cruise up and down the river. We understand it was due to inclement weather, however there was no correspondence from the tour operator to advise us of this. We found out after the cruise started. We wouldn't have paid 80 dollars for the experience we had
