Peaceful cruise along the tamar river - A wonderful way to see the beautiful city of Launceston, the tamar wetlands, and the cataract gorge. I also loved the wine tasting as we passed the vineyards that made it and the skipper was very knowledgeable, pointing out four white-bellied sea eagles. Very peaceful peaceful tour for a decent price.

Cruising the Tamar River, Launceston - A lovely cruise up Tamar River as far as Rosevears followed by brief sojourn in the Cataract Gorge. Really loved the flock of seagulls following the boat. The gorge is a really special place. Nice to be spoilt with morning tea, cakes, fresh fruit and the opportunity to taste local wines & lager.

Fabulous trip, Great host and guide - Callum and Lucas were an excellent guide and host. We learnt so much about the history of Launceston. We even got to see the rare sight of a young male sea eagle with an eele in his talons. I would highly recommend the experience

Easy Morning on the River - Once all guests were on board the cruise started with the obligatory safety demonstration delivered with a healthy dose of humour. Lynn’s knowledge of the waterway and history was excellent and the experience all the better with beautiful blue skies. Although I did not partake the morning tea on offer it looked ok and the wine tasting on the return leg was a nice touch as too was the provision of sunscreen. Highly recommend this tour.

Enjoyable Cruise - Lovely morning on the river, nice views and great commentary from Callum, though it was hard to hear at times. Morning tea was included, tea and coffee and a selection of cakes and fruit. Not always easy to see the views as passenger seating faces inwards. Cataract Gorge was a lovely ending to the cruise.
