Great way to travel! - A relaxing and surprisingly relatively effortless way to see Cataract Gorge and river. Aran was a friendly and knowledgeable guide.

Peaceful, beautiful views and good time - Loved it. Went early. Overcast, peaceful and fairly quiet and still. Birds, lots of river foam after recent heavy rains and our small group easily covered a remarkable distance in the time allotted, both along the river and up the gorge. Well run and good kayaks.

Wonderful cruise - Wonderful relaxing and informative journey. Amazing weather, and a great vantage point on the foredeck. Captain Callum, and crew JJ and Jason, couldn’t have been better. The section of the cruise through the gorge was a highlight.

Wonderful Kayaking experience - We thoroughly enjoyed the pedal kayaks - great way to view the Cataract gorge as well as Launceston riverfront. Aaron was a delightful guide, he was kind enough to reschedule our tour due to unsuitable weather conditions - highly recommend this activity if you are in Launceston.
