Absolutely amazing. Wish it went for longer. Commentary was great, afternoon tea delicious. Wine tasting was a pleasant surprise.

Launceston from the river.

Published on May, 2023

A lovely afternoon. Great commentary on the way up the river by our skipper and a beautiful sunset return back to port.

A great way to explore the beautiful Tamar River!

Published on Mar, 2023

This was the second time we have been on this cruise, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience once again. The cruise was on a Cabin Cruiser with lower and upper decks and outside viewing areas, and took 2.5 hours in total. The captain gave a very interesting commentary on the outward leg of the journey, and on the return journey tea, coffee and cakes were served along with a wine and beer tasting, and a pay bar. The last part of the cruise includes a trip up the beautiful Cataract Gorge. A really wonderful way to spend the afternoon and see some beautiful parts of the Tamar Valley.

relaxing and Informative

Published on Nov, 2022

A nice relaxing afternoon tour was well worth it. Captain Callum and his crew were very welcoming and the Captain provided a very informative running commentary on the regions history throughout the tour.
