      Great way to view the scenery
      Excellent cruise to see a wide range of scenery. The captain/ guide is incredibly knowledgeable and does an excellent commentary throughout. Comfortable launch, good bar, food and service. Unfortunately I copped a poor weather day☹️

      Great River Cruise experience. Best way to see Catarat Gorge
      Absolutely amazing. Relaxing, fun and such great views. The 2 gentlemen Tim & James were such a hoot, providing great information, commentary and such good hands on experiences for the kids. Absolutely worth the time and dollars

      Lovely Trip
      I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and surrounding scenery, which is very nice and interesting. The captain was very helpful and knowledgeable. Well worth doing the trip to see the beautiful gorge.

      Nice tour
      Interesting tour to see the gorge and learn a bit about the area, the river, the city. Nice thing to do as alternative to walking the gorge.

      A Cruise without Any Commentary
      Date of Cruise: 31 March 2024 We thoroughly enjoyed the river cruise, taking in the breathtaking views along the river and the Cataract Gorge. However, we were disappointed that our skipper did not give any commentary at all after he welcomed all of us on board. It would have been very informative to know the different places that we cruised by along the way as well as any other interesting information about the Gorge. ☹️😞😔

      Good, inexpensive, interesting cruise.
      Nice cruise. Good value and the cruise captain was knowledgeable about the area. Informative. We were appreciative of the company as they held the cruise for a few minutes because we were a little late due to traffic. On the down side, the cruise was full when we arrived so people had to sit outside. No big deal though.

      Cruising Cataract Gorge Currents
      The river cruise offered an overall average experience. I opted for this trip to give my partner a break from driving, and while the river cruise wasn't exceptional, it was decent. However, the true standout moments were found at the remarkable Cataract Gorge and the historic old bridge. They were the clear highlights of our trip.

      Dissapointed
      Beautiful view of the Launceston area but unfortunately our tour guide didn't have much to say & we didn't learn anything about the Cataract Gorge. He was too busy chatting with some other guest on board & there was no goodbye or thankyou as he was still chatting to the same guests. We come on these type of river cruises to learn a bit about the area we are visiting & we learnt nothing on this one so very disappointing. Also heard some other guests saying the same thing as we came off.

      A nice river cruise on the Tamar River and into the Cataract River Gorge
      We went on the Lady Launceston and really enjoyed the Captain's talk on the Tamar River and the environs. We also navigated into the Cataract Gorge and it was a beautiful site to see. All in all a very pleasant outing.

    My friend and I enjoyed the gentle morning seeing the views and hearing of the history of the area. It was so beautiful in the gorge I could have stayed all day just floating.

    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.

    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

    Thank you for your review. Unfortunate you didn't feel you saw enough, perhaps the longer options would have been more suited to your tastes.
