Lovely cruise along 3 rivers that intersect in Launceston. Learnt about the tidal system and history of shipping along the banks. Historical buildings were pointed out by our captain Leuwin, as well as commentary on their current use. Going into Cataract Gorge was serene with the small boat using electric engines. I was able to sit and take in the view and enjoy the peace and quiet. I would thoroughly recommend this tour due to it's length, price and ease of access.

The tour was great - informative and comprehensive. We were able to see clearly all the landmarks that were explained as we went along. Sufficient time was taken to look at everything. The boat was smooth and expertly piloted. On the whole it was a very pleasurable experience.

Brilliant cruise! Next time, we will book the longer cruise. The cruise allowed us to enjoy the natural wonders of Launceston. This experience sparked our desire to see more of the surrounding gorge and mountains. The walk around the gorge is a ‘must do’.
