Gordon River Cruises offers tours into the UNESCO Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Departing daily from Strahan on Tasmania’s remote west coast, cruise in ‘Whisper Mode’ aboard Spirit of the Wild, a purpose-built catamaran designed to glide quietly along the tranquil Gordon River with electric motors. The vessel features expansive windows, outdoor decks and a 360° viewing platform so our guests can be truly immersed in the ancient wilderness. Our premier cruise features on-board guides, visual character-based storytelling, chef-prepared gourmet lunch and walking tours of Heritage Landing and Sarah Island. Gordon River Cruises has won GOLD at the Tasmanian Tourism Awards three years in a row for best Tour & Transport Operator.

Yes this cruise even for the basic ticket is on the pricey side but you are getting quite an experience. Seating is allocated but to be honest the best views are for when you go out on deck in which …Full review by Aussie_2012

Q:
Hi, A question for people who have done the "Gordon River Cruises" cruise recently. I dont want to book and pay ahead of time as there appears to be a very high chance of an impending COVID-19 third wave lockdown in Victoria. So for those that have done it - did you need to book or were there plenty of seats on the day? Please note I am not after opinions on weather there will be a lockdown or not - I can make that decision, what I am asking is of the people who have done the cruise - was it necessary to book ahead or not. We would be booking for the lower deck. Cheers!

Depends on time of the year I guess as to demand- I think most people book but you could leave it to a day or two before you go & risk that you may need to change your day. With Covid …

Depends on time of the year I guess as to demand- I think most people book but you could leave it to a day or two before you go & risk that you may need to change your day. With Covid numbers have been reduced also. We did the upper deck & it was fantastic!

the cruise makes two stops : a walk through the huon forest , on a very well built walking platform with a short guided talk and second long stop on Sarah Island. The Sarah Island guided tour is excellent and there is also time for some free walking about. The cruise also pauses along the way... ie out at the Heads and at one of the salmon farms and there was great commentary and information about the sights we were passing. The Buffet lunch was excellent and caters for all, vegetarians included happy travels :)
