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.

C2437RMrichards

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

Jan_C

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.
