Josh was a happy and informative guide who was happy to answer any questions. The views were amazing and lots of photos taken Having a local as a guide adds so much to the stories as they are very aware of the history behind what we got to see and enjoy on the cruise Highly recommend

ABSOLUTELY fabulous. Thank you so very much. The best $40 I have spent in Tasmania. The day could not have been more perfect. The water was still, the sun so warm, the Captain (thank you Huon) so informative with a great sense of humour🤩…. Sensational ❣️ (We are going to do it again at low tide for a different experience) Thanks Tamar River Cruises
One of the best activities in Launceston

We took a morning cruise. The captain was friendly and funny, the river was calm, and we could learn a lot about Launceston.
Well organised & professional

To be honest you didn't see much more than you can see from the dock. I think this cruise should be cancerlled. The pilot was very good.
Not much to see

The cruise pilot was great but in reality as far as the short cruise goes, you don’t really see much more than what you can see from the dock, sadly could not recommend

We took the 50 minute cruise and loved it. We went early and there was only 6 people of which, we were 4, so it felt like we were on a private tour. Captain was friendly and informative. I would like to come back and do one of the longer trips

Our guide Huon was FANTASTIC...perhaps due to there only being 4 of us. We learnt ALOT about the history of the area and modern Launceston. We also came away with ideas of further places of interest to visit. Really appreciated all this on such a gloomy morning weather wise.
