Traveler reviews
Very relaxing and...
Very relaxing and informative. The Captain was very knowledgeable and provided excellent commentary throughout the trip.
Quite a nice little cruise
It was easy to get our tickets for our morning cruise. The cruiser is well maintained and clean. Plenty of seating to see the points of interest. The trip up the gorge was very interesting, and the commentary was good.
Launceston city area cruise: 3 rivers
Very good from the moment we boarded with an enthusiastic younger 'captain' who had not been in the job for that long BUT he was very informed & volunteered all sorts of great facts. Beautiful day: taken to the 3 rivers including The Gorge area (fascinating history). Took about 50 minutes: timing spot on for this type of cruise: we went on the 10.30am which was not packed: they have these hourly. Great value for money and again another super Viator outing on our travels. Well worth the time & money whilst you are in Launceston. We rate this highly
Good experience.
Good explanation about the surroundings, good customer services. The advertisement should be done on $AU only, doing it in $US is misleading, as I end up paying more.
