About This Experience
Elevate your sightseeing experience on Gordon River with an Upper Deck seat with access to all levels on the iconic ‘Harbour Master II’. Enjoy a sumptuous dinner as you soak up the scenic surrounds of this heritage-listed region from the comfort of the Upper Deck.
Departing from Strahan Wharf, your cruise will venture all the way to the Hells Gates channel, and into the Macquarie Harbour. Along the harbour, you can see aquaculture farms with tons of salmon and ocean trout.
The dynamic riverscapes continue before your first stop at Sarah Island. As you walk remnants of convict settlements, expert guides will fascinate you with tales that make up the rich history of this former penal colony.
The Captain also enlightens you with the region’s vast history, its culture, ecology and geology, along with interesting anecdotes.
During your cruise, an individually plated dinner will be served to your seats. You can savour this Tassie-inspired meal with drinks from the licensed cash bar on board.
Your next stop is at Heritage Landing. Follow your guide through the boardwalk along the lichen-covered bushlands and come face-to-face with the magnificent 2000-year-old Huon Pine trees! During your return journey, enjoy the lush rainforests, mountain ranges and the mirror-like waters once again – don’t forget to click some incredible nature shots!
The Gordon River World Heritage cruises are a must-do whether you're a local or a visitor, and the best way to maximise your experience is with an Upper Deck seat - so book now and experience the true beauty of Tasmania!
