    My wife and I thought this was well organised, and well executed. Very informative and friendly Captain 👨‍✈️ who will even rescue a hat overboard. Worth every dollar.

    I found it very Interesting coming from Hobart. The rise and fall of the tide blew us away. The Harry O May that came to Hobart when the bridge went down. Wonder what happen to her after she finished the Bruny Island crossing.

    It gives you a good look up and down the river and takes you into the first part of the. Cataract Gorge (note to get to the main part you have to either drive or walk in) - so worth it, we almost made the mistake of not driving over … the First Basin is by far the spectacular part of the gorge. Commentary on the tour was informative and interesting - with some humor injected. Good way to spend 50 mins - especially on a sunny day!
