Wilderness Cruises Up The Mighty Gordon River

Gordon River (Strahan) Gordon River cruises

The award-winning Gordon River wilderness cruise is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. Our shortlist of Gordon River cruises showcases a remarkable side of Tasmania – the mirror-like, reflective waters of Gordon River, its dramatic landscapes and attractions including Hells Gates, Sarah Island, high-tech aquaculture, rugged rolling hills, lush rainforests and more! You can choose from morning and afternoon departures, and even pick the perfect seating option from the Main and Upper Decks.

The small town of Strahan is the gateway to your Gordon River adventure. Departing from Strahan Wharf, you’ll cruise past Hells Gates, the narrow entry to Hell On Earth, Sarah Island. These cruises usually include a guided walk on this island for a realistic feel of the harsh history endured by the convicts of the bygone era.

To complement the sightseeing experience, there is a live commentary by the skipper which brings to life the river’s rich history. These cruises also include a Tassie-inspired lunch. The stop at Heritage Landing is another adventure through the lichen-covered forest trails of the UNESCO Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park where the magnificent Huon Pines thrive.

En route back to the wharf, there are even more photo opportunities – this time you can capture the wonders on the other side of the river bank. So, don’t miss your chance to explore the Tasmanian West Coast gems with one of the best Strahan river cruises. Book now!
