Relax in state-of-the-art vessels
The Spirit of the Wild blends into her surroundings as if she is part of nature herself. Effortlessly gliding down the river will feel like floating on air with the unique hybrid-propulsion system, making for a near-silent experience in the enchanting wilderness.
Travel on the Main Deck or Premium Upper Deck while you marvel at the famous Gordon River reflections and enjoy a chef-prepared buffet lunch.
The whisper quiet cruise never felt more stylish.
Discover the Tasmanian wilderness
With first access to the river you’ll have the best chance to seeing the famous reflections from aboard our luxury boats before any other vessels arrive.
Then as you venture further along the glass-like water, dedicated guides and character-based interpreters will recreate the stories of this remarkable place.
The cruise will take you through extraordinary spaces like the notorious Hell’s Gates, and the ruins of a dreaded penal colony on Sarah Island.
Stay in Strahan and save with My NRMA
Before and after your exquisite cruising experience, stay in the charming village of Strahan where you’ll be awed by the beauty along the shores of the historic Macquarie Harbour.
Choose from a range of beautifully restored rooms nestled on the edge of the wilderness, giving you perfectly comfortable spaces to unwind after a day of adventures.
From compact solo rooms to family sized cottages, there are options no matter which way you travel.
Dine and delight in Tasmania’s finest produce
From chef-prepared buffet meals on board to delectable dinners with harbour views at View 42 Restaurant and Bar, your appetite will be well taken care of.
Start the day with a coffee and breakfast along the esplanade at The Kitchen before heading to The Spirit of the Wild. As well as a buffet, you can enjoy a tipple while you sail down the river with an on-board bar.
And at night, make yourself at home at Strahan’s Hamers Bar & Bistro that has you covers with pub favourites and a full kids menu.
