If you can't wait to discover the wonders that made the Tasmanian Wilderness a UNESCO World Heritage Site, get a head start on this afternoon Gordon River cruise. Traveling on a state-of-the-art quiet catamaran, soak up views of rare Tasmanian trees, sample leatherwood honey, and see Hells Gates, where river and ocean meet. Upgrade for premier upper deck seating with afternoon tea and free-flow hot drinks.

Take a Hobart sightseeing cruise to admire coastal scenery and learn about the maritime history of Tasmania's capital city. As you travel along the River Derwent to Betsey Island and Iron Pot Lighthouse, one of the oldest lighthouses in Australia, you'll enjoy sights like Hope Beach, Mt Wellington and Shot Tower. Listen to stories from your guide about life on the sea, from shipwrecks to settlers, on this small-group tour limited to 12 people. 

Soak up the serene beauty of western Tasmania on a morning or afternoon cruise from Strahan to the Gordon River.
