Pleasant cruise, with useful commentary providing insight into the lifestyle of the early settlers of Western Tasmania. There was a lot to see in the six-hour cruise, with enough time for walk abouts. Great service on board. Highly recommended.
Excellent. Very enjoyable trip. Even with the rainy weather, no complaints
The cruise went well. It included a guided visit to Sarah island, a penal colony from 1822-33 and a world heritage walk inside the forest reserve along Gordon River. Note that this tour operated by World Heritage Cruises and not Gordon River Cruise. They are in the same bldg.
Amazing experience highly recommend.
Trip was fab, lunch was tasty with just the right amount of food and the staff were lovely. I thought the commentary was a bit overwhelming though. They conveyed so much historical information, (which some people would love), but for me it was over the top. Still a great trip that I enjoyed.
