Gordon river is magical. The guides were wonderful and informative. Lunch was good, and even had a vegan option (you have to ask them on the day). You can see why it's a world heritage area. My only feedback is that we had one more walk/activity to do.

We went on Easter Sunday and I’ve been recommending it to everyone since! Such good value for money and the tours are amazing, it was a rare day that we could go out to the southern ocean so that was very cool. Maggie and Katrina were very enthusiastic and great guides, Katrina’s got a great personality for cabin crew staff, she’s so funny and witty and kept us entertained. The west coast is such a beautiful place, the whole cruise experience was a solid 10/10

Gordon River part of the cruise was exceptional and lunch very nice. The stories told on board during the cruise were also very interesting. Would highly recommend the premium upper deck with its excellent service.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Tasmania. I was worried because of rain forecasted on the day of our cruise but it turns out that the weather made it a magical day on the river. The rain held off until late in our day just in time for the Sarah Island stop. They had umbrellas available on the island. It was the mist on the river for most of the day that made it so picturesque. We booked the premier deck which made it very nice. We felt pampered and relaxed. It was perfect. Staff was amazing. Highly recommend this trip on this boat and if possible, book the premier deck. We rarely splurge on things like this, but we were very glad that we did.
