Do it!!
What a magnificent experience. If you are in Strahan make sure you do this trip. We traveled in the Premier upper deck and it was fantastic. The food was fab. The scenery was second to none! Big shout out to our hostess Kelly. She was superb 👏 Thanks to all the crew for a wonderful day out on your beautiful harbour and river.

Fantastic experience
So pleased we booked "The Red Boat".
Great value for money full day out, 6 hour cruise of Macquarie Harbour and up the Gordon River, with stops and guided walks of Sarah Island convict settlement and a rainforest walk. The staff were very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful.
Morning tea and lunch were so filling, with the added bonus of a nice local wine.
Definitely recommend.

Gordon River cruise
Great cruise. Fab boat. Beautiful scenery. Informative commentary, 2 wonderful side trips to Sara Island and a rain forest. Well worth the trip to Strahan to do

A great Macquarie harbour experience- highly recommend!
The trip is 6 hours of varied quality experiences! They went out through Devils Head, then across the harbour to the beauty of the Gordon River, we stopped for a walk through the rainforest, travelled Sarah Island and had a great tour of the former Penal colony with a great guide. Dinner was a nice cold buffet. My only negative is my booking states complimentary drink, but when asked for by others who they were told no yet on there and our booking confirmation. This needs to be corrected!

Perfectly peaceful
A wonderful experience showing the wilderness, rugged landscape and peacefulness of the area. Hells gate was amazing and the Gordon river so peaceful. Sarah island and the landing were added bonus. Captain Andy and guides and crew just fabulous

Phenomenal Day!
My husband & I toured with this company on Wed, Sept 17th. From start to finish of our experience it was phenomenal. The team could not have been more welcoming, informative or helpful. We felt this tour was amazing value for money and exceeded any expectations we had. We enjoyed a beautiful morning tea and lunch included with our ticket. We give it give this a 6 star rating and thank the team for a wonderful day!

A must do experience well worth the effort.
What a great day out. The estuary and river are beautiful pristine areas and the tour was wonderful. The guide of Sarah Island was very well presented by David with in depth commentary of the hardship at the time. The stories made even more entertaining with the nightly presentation of "The Ship that never was", again presented by David et al. A wonderful story of escape with audience participation. A must do experience of fun and fascination

Afternoon Gordon River Dinner CruiseMereteMadsen, Jan 2026
Beware of food
We had a vey enjoyable tour. Weather was perfect for sailing.
Smooth, and informative, nice seats.
When booking the tour the day prior, we’re told food is prepared on the boat…this is also stated on signs!!
My husband doesn’t eat several of the things they plan to serve, but we are told that will not be a problem , they will certainly make something to his liking…just ask when you board.
THAT WAS NOT TRUE.we were told “absolutely not”
This was quite annoying….luckily the could exchange the salmon and the cheese with some ham….but we do not appreciate lies!

Relaxing ride in beautiful surroundings.
Fabulous scenes with comprehensive commentary. The lunch was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Amazing experience
Such an amazing experience, right from the time you step on board. Sarah Island was breathtaking, the commentary on the history was very interesting and lunch was delicious! Staff were friendly too.

The boat trip, food and...
The boat trip, food and service were all excellent. I have done the trip multiple times and found the presentation of information on Sarah Island disappointing in comparison with previous presentations.

Great day on the Gordon
A wonderful day through an amazing part of the world. The scenery around McQuarie Harbour and the Majestic Gordon River was stunning, made even better by the crew who were extremely knowledgeable and freindly. Capped off by an excellent lunch. I couldn't recommend this experience more highly.

Rivers and bushland with a few amazing staff and guides.
It was a great tour with great staff. However, dont be bamboozled by the seating arrangements in the lower deck. I paid for the medium range seating which is next to a window, but upon seeing the cheaper seats, I believed the view was better from them because you could see from a 300 degree angle all around. The most epxensive seating was upstairs and they were waited on and had less noise and a higher vantage point. Worth it if you can afford it but not necessary.Food was a salad with cold meats and smoked salmon and a dinner roll. not bad.The sights were rivers and dense rainforest/bushland. Im not sure the terepidatious travelling to Strahan was all worth it.A few of the staff are what make the tour great with all their knowledge and understanding of the local area. If it wasnt for them, I may not have enjoyed it as much.
