We lucked out with a stunning day - clear blue and calm. But the highlight was the staff engagement - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining. How wonderful to be with a family owned business who had played such a part in saving this important and beautiful area from destruction!!

Loved everything. The boat, the friendly professional staff, the guide on Sarah Island was exceptional - Josh - loved the quality commentary on the boat with the useful evocative images. Captain Riley was incredibly accommodating- and wishing the family all the best for the future.

The scenery was incredible. The tour on Sara island and heritage landing were really good. Unfortunately we got a day of rain but that didn't stop us. The food on board wasn't too bad either, certainly filled the tummy. Cabin crew were super friendly and seats were comfortable. I highly recommend this tour.

Start your cruise at 9am, through the world heritage Gordon River, home to ancient rain forests and eco-systems, and soak in the beauty of Tasmania.

Learn more of Tasmania’s history with a guided on-shore walk of Sarah Island where the government once imprisoned it's convicted criminals, and was known as the harshest penal settlement in the country.

Walk through an ancient rainforest, observing 2,000-year-old Huon Pine trees, endemic to the Tasmanian region of Australia.

Enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly experience on a fully accessible catamaran with informative commentary.
