Tamar River Cruises
Help code: 3410-1094
Cruise into the magical Cataract Gorge and through Launceston's riverfront precinct. Head north past Tamar Island and experience the variety of life as you cruise past charming riverfront communities, vineyards and farms to the historic Rosevears and Windermere districts exploring the history of the St Mathias Church and Rosevears Tavern. The fascinating collection of history, fauna and people at work, rest and play makes an absorbing narrative which will touch, intrigue and inspire and offers one of the best vantage points to view the Tamar Valley.
The 2.5 hour cruise includes a fruit platter, tea and coffee for afternoon tea as well as local beer and wine tasting. Cruises depart at 3.00pm Monday, Wdnesday and Saturday and at 1.30pm Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday
“ The cruise is fantastic! If you a first-time visitor to Launceston, this is a must-do cruise. There is so many information on the cruise delivered by the fantastic captain. You are able to see so much of the Launceston landscape by going on this cruise. We had plenty of afternoon tea to consumed as well. The mini wine and beer tasting was a great way to sample the products offered in Launceston. I highly recommend this cruise to everyone.
The cruise itself was great, beautiful location and the crew were fantastic and knowledgeable. A little disappointed with the wine tasting and afternoon tea. Was surprised there was no option to buy any of the wines tasted and the afternoon tea was whisked away before I got to it :-(

5 years agoWe had an excellent cruise, staff were very friendly and informative. We learnt so much about the area we would not otherwise have known. The time passed way too quickly as the experience was very comfortable and enjoyable.
6 years agoIt was a nice afternoon having the tour, knowing the history and gotta see some of the buildings along the river.
