Tucked in a quiet bay of Macquarie Harbour, the quaint waterfront village of Strahan is the gateway to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.

After cruising across Macquarie Harbour you'll glide past waterfalls and the magnificent mirrored reflections of the Gordon River before stepping ashore at Heritage Landing. Here you can walk into the green silence of the rainforest to see trees 2000 years old.

However, there's a lot more on your cruise route than World Heritage wilderness. You'll see Hells Gate where the harbour opens to the ocean, Tasmania's world-renowned salmon farms, and you'll visit notorious Sarah Island. Walk among the ruins and hear your guide bring the past alive with astonishing stories of when convicts built amazing ships from precious Huon pine.

CRUISE OPTIONS:
On the main deck you can select from two seating styles - centre atrium and window seats. All are forward facing, spacious and comfortable.

The premium option is the Captain's Premier Upper Deck. This is your luxury sightseeing experience - it includes fine food, wine and all beverages, exclusive deck space and a dedicated nature guide. A courtesy transfer is available for Captain's Premier Upper Deck passengers to and from your Strahan accommodation.

THE VESSEL:
Wherever you sit, Lady Jane Franklin's floor to ceiling windows give you superb views of rainforest and river, mountains and harbour.

With two guided shore excursions, we will ensure you receive the very best wilderness experience, and returning at 2:00pm allows further discoveries around Strahan. The Lady Jane departs for an afternoon cruise during the peak season.

Strahan Village is the perfect base for exploring Tasmania's wilderness, with Gordon River Cruises and West Coast Wilderness Railway right at your doorstep.

Bookings are essential.

Duration: 6 hours - cruises depart daily at 8.30am from Strahan and afternoon cruises depart at 2.45pm in peak season.
