9am daily your cruise departs Strahan
Your first point of interest is Hells Gates, the narrow-channel entrance from the wild Southern Ocean to Macquarie Harbour.

Disembark at Heritage Landing for a stroll along the boardwalk through the Unesco listed Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park and see the hushed, lichen-covered rainforest and one of its oldest inhabitants a 2000-year-old Huon Pine tree.

We were very fortunate to enjoy this trip in good weather. The sun shone and as it was so calm, the captain took the boat out into The Roaring Forties. A nice touch. Enjoyable commentary throughout and the walking tour with guide very informative. Lunch caters for dietary requirements. The exit from the boat at the end of the tour is via the saw mill which was interesting too.

What an amazing experience to go up into such a pristine, world heritage area. Made me very proud to be Australian. We were so lucky with the weather, as it was bright and shiny all day. All the staff were very helpful and had great local knowledge . Lunch was delicious . All in all a great day

What a fantastic day out. Certainly the highlight of our Tasmanian holiday so far. Great commentary and lots to see. If you really want to get into the rainforest this is the way to go.
