Enjoyable four hours in Launceston - It’s an excellent and relaxing way to spend four hours in the care of a helpful, courteous and informative crew. We learned a lot about the colourful history of Launceston and the surrounding area of the Tamar river while enjoying some wine-tasting and a light lunch. It was good value for money and we would definitely recommend it for tourists and visitors to Launceston.

Relaxing 4 hours boat trip - We had a wonderful time on the Batman Bridge 4 Hour Luncheon Cruise, including sailing into the beautiful Cataract Gorge. It was such a relaxing day on the water and a perfect way to see the scenery from a different perspective. The captain’s commentary was informative and entertaining, adding so much to the experience. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it — we certainly didn’t leave hungry! Highly recommended for anyone wanting a laid-back and enjoyable cruise.

Worth Doing in Launceston - Great commentary all the way. Food was plentiful and tasty. Cruised 40 kilometres down Australia’s longest navigable estuary and experienced the natural beauty and magic of Launceston’s famous Tamar Valley and the Cataract Gorge.
