Reviews
"Lovely afternoon on the cruise. It is a slow relaxed pace but that’s what we enjoyed. It’s scenic not adventurous. Easy way to spend an hour, see some pretty views and learn a little history of the area."
"An easygoing and affordable family friendly way to enjoy the Tamar. We did the Cataract Gorge cruise which is about 50 minutes, a good length of time for small children. The water is calm and it can be chilly with the winds so bring a jacket! Also recommend bring binoculars if you want to see some shorebirds."
"Great views, humorous captain and reasonably priced! We had a group of 6 and everyone had a great time. With the captain's dad jokes and a seal sighting right at the end as well, we got it all. The captain touched on history, architecture and nature too. Well worth the money and plenty to see in 50 minutes."
"It was an amazing experience, knowledgeable and friendly crew. We went out to hells gates and down the gordon river, stopped at sarah island and stopped off at franklin gordon wild rivers national park. Weel worth the expense and they served a very tasty bento box for lunch. The snaks and drinks on board were very well priced too."
