6Hr World Heritage Morning Cruise (Upper Deck Centre)

The serene black waters of Gordon River flows through the heritage wilderness area of Tasmania’s west coast and is the perfect place for a nature cruise. Join this World Heritage morning cruise and soak up the absolute best of nature and history from the comfort of your upper deck centre seat.

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 discover aquaculture farms with tons of salmon and ocean trout.

Continue enjoying the dynamic riverscapes from the upper deck seat with your morning tea in hand, before prepping for your first stop at Sarah Island. As you walk along the paths of the notorious convicts of the bygone era, the expert guides will fascinate you with tales that make up the rich history of this former penal settlement.

The live commentary is enriched with the region’s vast history, its culture, ecology and geology, along with anecdotes from the captain.

During your cruise, an individually plated lunch will be served to your seats. You can savour this Tassie-inspired meal with accompaniments from the licensed cash bar onboard. 

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 tree! 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, so book your seats now and experience the true beauty of Tasmania!
