Gordon River Cruises
Lady Jane Franklin is a relaxing and comfortable way to explore pristine World Heritage Wilderness and discover the mighty Gordon River. Your voyage of discovery with Gordon River Cruises begins where Macquarie Harbour opens to the sea at Hells Gates, as the cruise passes through the narrow passage that has claimed many ships and seafarers in the past. Marvel at the Training Wall, a masterpiece of 19th century engineering that has made the passage safe today.
Your Gordon River Cruise will journey to the edge of the Southern Ocean, visiting fish farms where prized Atlantic Salmon and Ocean Trout are grown for local and export markets. Gordon River Cruises in Strahan is one of the most popular Tasmania tours. One of the memorable features of the cruise includes exploring the ruins of Sarah Island, where the convicts built amazing ships from Huon Pine. Upstream, step ashore and walk through the rainforest at Heritage Landing.
