Itinerary:
Valid for 01APR25-31MAR26:
Step aboard the Spirit of the Wild at the Gordon River Cruise terminal on the Esplanade, Strahan to commence a full-day cruise. Visit Hells Gates at the mouth of Macquarie Harbour, discover the UNESCO Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area as everyone will explore the rainforest at Heritage Landing and then Sarah Island the once dreaded penal colony. Enjoy an unforgettable and immersive experience in this incredible environment with dedicated on-board guides. The cruise will conclude back in Strahan at approximately 2: 30pm-3: 00pm. The Gordon River Cruise will first take all guests through the notorious Hells Gates, where the harbour and the Southern Ocean meet. From there, everyone will make way across Macquarie Harbour to the fish farms where you’ll learn the fascinating story of salmon and trout farming on the west coast of Tasmania (and have a taste of the delicious produce). From the fish farms everyone will make their way to the beautiful Gordon River. While quietly cruising the Gordon River with Spirit of the Wild's electric motors everyone will take in the breathtaking scenery and calm of our pristine World Heritage-listed wilderness. Stopping at Heritage Landing, take a walk through the temperate rainforest, learning of the local flora and fauna while wandering elevated boardwalks that thread the way between the magnificent rainforest species. As well as sassafras and myrtle, stand in awe next to the pride of the forest, an ancient Huon pine. To finish, explore the ruins of Sarah Island – a once dreaded penal colony – before returning to Strahan where you can continue your Tasmanian adventure. The guided tour on Sarah Island will regale you with convict tales that will send shivers up your spine.
