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.

Ours was 4 at the time. It was a long day. Packed activities to do. You could order food and drinks on the ship most of day but packing a lunch box for snacks might be helpful. Didn’t help we had a really rough day and not very nice weather. Wish we had of done the train to compare the two and see which was more age appropriate.
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!
