The boat is very comfortable, the crew are super friendly and the wilderness is spectacular and special. The food was a missed opportunity to partner with and promote Tassie producers and provide something memorable ( in a good way)

This trip was outstanding. The crew were fantastic, helpful, smiling, engaging and nothing was a problem. The dinner meal tasty and plentiful. Good drink selection at reasonable prices. The river is spectacular and the venture through hello gate a must do. Sarah Island tour very worthwhile and to learn about life prior to Port Arthur was interesting. Overall good value for money and I can't fault anything. Great job World Heritage.

Heari g about the history of the Gordon River and how the damming of it was ceased was interesting. My wife and I also enjoyed visiting Sarah Island to see and hear about the history associated with the Penal Station. The visit the dry rain forest was also interesting. Going past Macquarie Heads was also exciting when the cruise ship started to bop up and down.

Excellent cruise. Everyone in our group thought it was amazing. Well worth the money and best experience in our stay in Tassie.

Definitely a highlight of our weeks in Tasmania. This is why you come to Strahan! The captain provided interesting commentary and the scenery was beautiful through the expansive harbour and the Gordon river. The ride itself was smooth even though this 'red boat' reaches quite some speed. The vessel itself was extremely comfortable and we loved our front view seats in the upper deck. There was also a choice of decks to sit or stand in outside which was very enjoyable especially along the river. The boardwalk and the Sarah Island guided tours were most informative and interesting. The provided food was tasty and a good range of drinks was available. The service was always friendly and helpful. The absolute highlight was the extra time allowed to take us out of the harbour, through Hell's Gates into the Southern Ocean to view the sunset. Aparently this is rarely possible, but we were the lucky ones on this occasion as our stars aligned. The captain had all the time in the world to allow us to savour this magical experience!

Sarah island was very interesting and the presenter was excellent. The dinner was very good and all staff were friendly and jolly.
