Cataract Gorge Cruise, Launceston,Tasmania

You won't believe this ancient wilderness exists just a 15-minute walk from the city center. Join us on the Lady Launceston for a silent cruise into the heart of the spectacular Cataract Gorge.
The Story Tasmania is known for its wild beauty, but Launceston hides a secret right in its backyard. Today, we’re boarding a 1890s-style vessel to explore the Tamar River and journey deep into the cliffs of the Cataract Gorge.

The moment the boat glides under the iconic King’s Bridge, the city noise disappears, replaced by the sound of rushing water and bird calls. We explore the towering dolerite cliffs, spot local wildlife, and experience the eerie calm of the "silent electric drive" engine. If you are planning a trip to Tassie, this relaxing escape needs to be on your itinerary.
