Gordon River Cruises

Discover the secrets of the West Coasts majestic World Heritage wilderness with Gordon River Cruises aboard Lady Jane Franklin II.

On this half-day cruise from Strahan, youll cross the harbour to its narrow entrance at Hells Gates, passing through this once-dangerous stretch of water to feel the power of the Southern Ocean. Back inside the harbour, youll cruise slowly past fish farms producing salmon and ocean trout, then glide silently into the lower reaches of the Gordon.

At Heritage Landing, the furthest point that cruise boasts can reach, walk ashore into the forest to see 2000-year-old Huon pines and experience the timeless silence of the wilderness.

On the return voyage to Strahan, stop at Sarah Island, once a feared penal colony in the 1820s where convicts laboured to harvest Huon pine and build ships using the superb timber.

Allocated seating and knowledgeable interpretive guides are features of your Gordon River Cruises experience.
