We were going on the 2.5 hours trip but they upgraded us to 4 hour luncheon. It was a great trip. The captain was very knowledgeable with local information. Morning Tea and Lunch was delicious. Great way to see Launceston.
Great cruise.

A lovely afternoon. Great commentary on the way up the river by our skipper and a beautiful sunset return back to port.
A great way to explore the beautiful Tamar River!

This was the second time we have been on this cruise, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience once again. The cruise was on a Cabin Cruiser with lower and upper decks and outside viewing areas, and took 2.5 hours in total. The captain gave a very interesting commentary on the outward leg of the journey, and on the return journey tea, coffee and cakes were served along with a wine and beer tasting, and a pay bar. The last part of the cruise includes a trip up the beautiful Cataract Gorge. A really wonderful way to spend the afternoon and see some beautiful parts of the Tamar Valley.
relaxing and Informative

This trip was excellent. The commentary was informative and it was value for money. The boat was overnight and clean and the wine and beer tasting of the region was enjoyable.
Not covidsafe. Quite boring.

No covid Marshall's and so a number of the passengers took off their masks. Not whilst eating, all the time. Only one reminder to wear them over announcement, but noone properly checking and ensuring we were safe. Very concerning, as the boat was full of people. Boat went up a river and back, quite boring. About 5 mins only in the gorge. It was alot of money to see a muddy river with a few pretty birds.
