A nice river cruise on the Tamar River and into the Cataract River Gorge - We went on the Lady Launceston and really enjoyed the Captain's talk on the Tamar River and the environs. We also navigated into the Cataract Gorge and it was a beautiful site to see. All in all a very pleasant outing.

Amazing relaxing boat ride - Today we had a very beautiful relaxing river tour on the west Lamar boat, came all the way from Melbourne and it was defiantly an experience you'd want to try! Amazing scenery and history behind the gorge.

Very welcoming friendly tour - The tour guide (I'm sorry I've forgotten your name!) was so friendly and knowledgeable about the Tamar 'Estuary'. It was such a lovely way to spend the afternoon. This tour was so well worth it.

Short but informative - Short but sweet tour……a comfortable boat, with an ability to keep warm with covered windows, but also available seating outside (good for colder weather). A few wrecks along side the Tamar River shoreline as well as spectacular view up close of Cataract Gorge. Good value for money but is only a short trip
