Upper Gordon River Cruise

Itinerary

 

On our unique cruise you will be inspired by this isolated wilderness when travelling the 35km up the famous Gordon River to Sir John Falls aboard our 65ft (20m) steel ketch “Stormbreaker“.

We navigate the river to collect a group of intrepid rafters who have paddled the mighty Franklin River. Experience Macquarie Harbour and enter the Gordon River and magnificent World Heritage Area of Tasmania, as we meander along the river to Sir John Falls. You can walk on the special walkway to watch the beautiful and remote waterfall in action. Once there, you can do some fishing and kayaking.

We are the only company granted a Government license for this precious area, so it’s a real treat to be aboard.

Your accommodation is in either of our two double private cabins, or in the large eight bunk cabin (each with its own curtain). “Stormbreaker” has a large saloon below deck (heated), 2 bathrooms -  showers, toilets, hand basins and a great space on deck where you can talk with the skipper, do some helming, climb the rigging, or just sit back and admire the stars.

The rafters get on board in the morning and share the continental style breakfast and morning tea on your return trip to Strahan, arriving at around 12 noon.
