Tamar River Cruises offers scenic cruises from Launceston’s Seaport precinct, combining history, wildlife and local flavours in one relaxed experience. Just a short walk from the city centre, it’s an easy addition to any Launceston itinerary.
Cruises travel into the spectacular Cataract Gorge and along Australia’s longest navigable tidal estuary, with informative commentary from local skippers sharing the stories that have shaped Launceston and the Tamar Valley. Along the way, you may spot native wildlife including sea eagles, black swans and, at times, seals.
Select cruises include tastings of local wines and cheeses, offering a chance to experience the region’s produce while taking in vineyard-lined shores, historic sites and changing river landscapes. With a range of options available, Tamar River Cruises is ideal for those looking to explore beyond the city centre or enjoy a relaxing perspective of Northern Tasmania.
