About This Experience
An exciting cruise awaits on the Gordon River! This fully guided experience takes you into the heart of Tasmania's rugged landscape to explore the historic former mining town of Pillinger.
Come aboard the MV Sophia, a high-speed, open-deck motor cruiser designed to offer uninterrupted views of the pristine wilderness. This is a small group tour limited to 10 guests only.
Sit back and enjoy the scenic cruise to Kelly Basin, where you'll step ashore to explore the ruins of East Pillinger. Once a bustling mining town, East Pillinger has been gradually reclaimed by the rainforest. As you continue, you’ll see the infamous Hells Gates, a narrow and historically treacherous channel at the entrance to Macquarie Harbour. Along the way, stop near a working fish farm and learn about local aquaculture. The adventure continues with a visit to Bonnet Island and tales of the island's lighthouse keepers.
This experience offers a chef-prepared gourmet lunch featuring local produce, complemented by a selection of soft and alcoholic beverages. You are also provided morning tea.
Perfect for adventure-loving travellers and passionate historians, this cruise is an unforgettable experience. Book your tickets now!
