Date of Cruise: 31 March 2024 We thoroughly enjoyed the river cruise, taking in the breathtaking views along the river and the Cataract Gorge. However, we were disappointed that our skipper did not give any commentary at all after he welcomed all of us on board. It would have been very informative to know the different places that we cruised by along the way as well as any other interesting information about the Gorge. ☹️😞😔

Nice cruise. Good value and the cruise captain was knowledgeable about the area. Informative. We were appreciative of the company as they held the cruise for a few minutes because we were a little late due to traffic. On the down side, the cruise was full when we arrived so people had to sit outside. No big deal though.
Very relaxing and surprisingly protected from the weather

This was a lovely 50 minute cruise that we are really glad we took. It was a spur of the moment decision but the cruise in the wooden boat was just the best. The commentary by the captain was also really informative as he relayed the history of the various ships and shipwrecks nearby. Well worth it.
Good trip

Thank you Tamar River Cruises for a wonderful afternoon. My mother and I recently had the pleasure of being on an afternoon Cataract Gorge cruise. The views were amazing of course but it was the engaging and knowledgeable skipper/guide with information about the area that really elevated the cruise. This would be a cruise I would recommend to all that have the opportunity.
