Well worth doing

Published on Jan, 2025

We done the tour on the main deck with window seats. The only downside were the massive blowflies on the boat, that's it. The cruise itself, crew and food were really good. We were lucky enough to have Kiah doing our sarah island tour and she was magnificent. Overall 10/10

Relaxing, Educational and Nourishing

Published on Jan, 2025

Relaxing cruise along Macquarie Harbour and the Gordon River. Dinner was delicious. Our on board guide, Emily, was very informative. We learnt about the discovery of the harbour, salmon farming and huon pines. The tour of Sarah Island was fascinating, our guide Lyell was very charismatic and we learnt alot about the history of the convicts.

A must-do experience.

We cruised on Spirit of the Wild departing Strahan at 3.15pm. What a magnificent afternoon/evening it was. Captain Ben and his team were fantastic. Harriet and Hannah our two main hosts could not have been more friendly and informative. The information was presented on board in such a dynamic, interesting way through engaging story-telling. Sarah Island was a real highlight for our group. Thanks to our brilliant guide James who was engaging the minute we stepped onto the island. He brought that island to life with his humorous historical tales. Travelling down the Gordon River was awe-inspiring and learning in more detail about the environmental activism that took place was a real highlight for me. It was a wonderful experience and our group all walked away with a deep appreciation for this incredible part of the world.

Fabulous Evening

Published on Jan, 2020

We had an amazing afternoon and evening cruising the Gordon River. The staff were super friendly and informative. The stops at both the heritage landing and Sarah Island were fantastic but the most incredible part was the passage through Hell’s Gate. Highly recommend this cruise!

The Finest Way to Tour the Gordon

Published on Jan, 2020

The Evening Dinner Cruise experience with Gordon River Cruises was wonderful. From the moment we boarded the state of the art vessel we were very comfortable. We were welcomed aboard with afternoon tea before heading into Macquarie Harbour, travelling past fish farms before entering the Gordon River. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us great insight into the history of the area. She led us a Wilderness walk along the boardwalk from the Heritage Landing, which again was a great experience. We cruised back down the river past Grommet Island, and docked at Sarah Island. Here there was another guide, Kiah Davey, he was simply with her story telling of Tasmania's oldest penal colony. This was followed by dinner on the boat and it really was First Class with a great selection of food and wine. From there we cruised out through Hell's Gates for the sunset experience, again, this was really wonderful. I cannot recommend #GordonRiverCruises highly enough. It was a great experience made even better by attentive and friendly and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend the Premium Upper Deck experience.
