World Heritage Cruises

World Heritage Cruises is located in Strahan on Tasmania's beautiful and rugged West Coast. They take you by catamaran into the world's last great temperate rainforest, deep into the World Heritage Area. A century-old family tradition of local hospitality is the foundation of World Heritage Cruises, five successive generations of Grinings have explored every bend of the mighty Gordon River; they began as pioneer settlers and ferried their first passengers in 1896. Today, Guy and Troy Grining share the passion of their ancestors. During the cruise, passengers enjoy the natural and historic features of Macquarie Harbour, including Hells Gates, an array of aquaculture farms, a Sarah Island penal settlement guided tour and two hours of cruising the Gordon River where you disembark to explore the rainforest and see a Huon pine tree that was a mere seedling 2,000 years ago. Informed and interesting narrative is a key part of the journey. A fresh prepared buffet lunch featuring locally raised smoked salmon is included during the cruise. The vessels extra large windows provide uninterrupted panoramic viewing, a spacious layout with outstanding comfort and excellent onboard service will exceed passenger expectations and make the cruise a thoroughly memorable experience.
