Relaxing and informative cruise

Published on Dec, 2024

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.

Relaxing cruise with great view and commentary - and Tasmanian wine and beer!

Published on Dec, 2024

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!

Leisurely cruise

Published on Nov, 2024

Leisurely cruise along the Tamar River with my sister on a beautiful sunny morning . Lovely morning tea , a very athletic lady (lisa ?) up and down the narrow stairs with muffins , fruit , coffee pots and hot water . I would have liked a bit more commentary on passing sights , admittedly the captain was being earbashed by a couple of passengers for quite a while ! Very relaxing 2.5 hours .

A must when in Launceston

Published on Mar, 2023

Excellent trip. Captain and crew were very nice and gave excellent commentary without overloading. Boat was clean and comfortable. Lovely service with a wine tasting and afternoon tea. Would highly recommend when in Launceston. (The wine was pretty average but, hey, it's a very nice touch).

beautiful and informative

Published on Mar, 2023

Great commentary, really found the history of the river interesting and important to know. Easy way to fill in a few hours and way better than expected
