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.

One of the best parts of the cruise? Without a doubt—the captain. A true storyteller, his voice carried across the speakers with passion, knowledge, and a deep love for the land. Every bend in the river came alive through his words. The crew was just as wonderful—friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of what they do. It felt more like being a guest than a passenger. Lunch was a light spread, but beautifully done—fresh, simple, and just right for the journey.

Amazing stories shared by the crew and the rainforest experience was calming to the soul. So much natural beauty experienced while on the cruise, I will definitely make Strahan a reguar holiday destination.
