Reviews
The trip was wonderful. When you come to Tasmania, you should definitely take the time to experience a trip on the Gordon River.
Wow! What an amazing experience! The day was perfectly planned and executed with precision. It was everything I expected and then some I didn’t expect!! To be honest, when booking I did think it was rather pricey, but now that I’ve been on it- I can see why! It’s worth every cent! Will definitely do this again on the next trip too.
We were lucky enough to have a nice, clear day for our boat trip. Perfect experience. The content is rich and interesting; the scenery is beautiful and peaceful. Price includes a sumptuous lunch buffet. Unfortunately, the wind was strong and we couldn't see the level like a mirror.
Bucket list tick- the day was amazing. Outstanding scenery and commentary along the way. Weather couldn't have been better. photographers dream day.
A luxurious boat with stable sailing and high-end toilets. Gordon River is very beautiful. Overall it was very dull and I fell asleep a few times. The main deck sells breakfast, hot drinks, and snacks; 90% of the buffet lunch is cold cuts, including smoked salmon. We will disembark twice on the way. The first time is to walk around the woods for free (30 minutes), and the second time is to listen to the tour guide telling historical stories on Sarah Island (1 hour), which is boring.
The upper deck is worth it. lunch was very good, cheese and wine were great. have colouring activity for kids. highly recommended!
Very good. Very historical. Nice meal provided.
buffet was a let down - limited food options and quantity
