We thoroughly enjoyed our time on this river cruise, seeing the sights and learning some interesting facts and insights into the river and surrounds, the Captain and crew were very helpful and always welcoming, there was more than enough to eat from muffins for morning tea to Focaccia sandwiches for lunch followed be a cheese and fruit platter after, there was even a mini wine tasting, tea and coffee was included throughout and cold drinks and alcoholic were available as an extra, we would thoroughly recommend this river cruise.

Hi all, I have just completed my 4 hour luncheon batman bridge cruise and I am so pleased to let yall know I had a thoroughly relaxing and informative cruise, our captain, Mr Callum is so kind and patient and let us know many little interesting facts about tamar valley, my only knowledge of tamar valley is the delicious yoghurt that our country imports:)), so when Mr Callum tell us interesting facts like who is who *, the famous environmentalist Peter Cundall, and the NZ actress Rebecca Gibney, used to reside in Tamar valley, we find very interesting indeed! The wildlife is also spectacular, like the white bellied goshask n pelicans in their very natural habitat, all in all, every penny will be worth it because, wine tasting n beer tasting and the gorgeous spread of lunch platter, makes it very wonderful experience, I like to extend my heartfelt thanks to The captain, JJ and team, for this memorable experience through the tamar valley, bridges, cataract gorge and the wildlife that you can spot along the cruise!

A quiet and gentle short (50 min) cruise to get the feel of the Tamar River, North and South Esk Rivers on Launceston's doorstep. The cruise starts with a toot of its horn and then turns in the pool of the North Esk, goes a short way up the Tamar to Kings Wharf, once the bustling heart of Launceston, now a shadow of its former self, then turns again to make its way up the cataract gorge with its towering dolorite walls. Although you are not able to get right up to the basin where there is a pool and chairlift over the river, you do get to see a fair bit of the gorge itself, the walkways either side and wave at the walkers. A good trip for families, less mobile people, or those short on time. Gentle and relaxing.

Spectacular views. Well organized. James , the captain of the boat was very knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the experience

A lovely, informative way to spend an hour. We were lucky with the weather. Highly recommend this tour. Note - go to the bathroom first.

Tour was excellent, crew were fantastic. Cataract gorge was spectacular. Only issue was that it's hard to hear the commentary outside.

Fabulous! Great boat with comfortable seats and lots of options inside/outside/upstairs. Commentary on the journey very interesting and just the right amount. Afternoon tea and wine tasting added to the experience. Saw a seal on arrival back at base which topped off the afternoon.

My partner and I had an amazing time on the Afternoon Discovery Cruise along the Tamar River! It was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience, made even better by the beautiful Tasmanian wine and beer served on board. A huge shoutout to Callum and JJ, who were excellent captain and hosts throughout the cruise. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. Their passion for the area really shone through, and it added so much to the overall experience. The views along the Tamar River were stunning, and the whole experience was the perfect way to spend an afternoon in Launceston. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Tasmania – it’s a must-do!

The cruise we booked is not the 1 we ended up with. We enjoyed the cruise we ended up with & any problems were resolved very quickly

We went on this cruise on 3 Dec 2024 (couple) at 3:30pm It was well worth the time and low cost. We booked in advance. Duration 1 hour, went up the Estuary / Harbour, and then to the Cataract Falls. The Skipper was the guide, he was good - Thank you. There was recorded commentary filled in various places along the way. The Harbour was interesting and historic. The old Bridge was worth photos and the history. The Cataract Gorge was good to see and photograph. Yes, well worth the experience.

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.

Very pleasant and easy cruise. Informative skipper (James) and the ticket office staff are very professional and friendly. A great way to get oriented in Launceston and discover the city region and walkways. Embarcation point, is close to downtown and well maintained.

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.

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.

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