About this tour
Spend an evening aboard Spirit of the Wild, a hybrid-powered vessel gliding silently through Tasmania's Gordon River and Macquarie Harbour. Over six hours, savour chef-prepared dinners built from local produce whilst onboard interpreters unpack the region's natural and cultural layers. The boat's quiet engine and low-impact hull let you absorb the landscape without noise or disturbance—perfect for catching dusk light on the water and spotting wildlife that other vessels scare away.

- Expert guides interpret natural and human history

What to expect
You'll board in late afternoon and settle into the dining saloon or head straight to the viewing deck as the boat pushes off. Guides offer context about the harbour's geology, colonial past, and current ecosystem as you drift past buttongrass moorlands and temperate rainforest. Dinner unfolds across the evening—a buffet designed around what grows and is produced nearby, with wine or beer included depending on your ticket tier. Allow time to wander between the main saloon, deck spaces, and upper viewing platform; the six-hour window gives you room to linger over a drink and watch light change on the water.
Good to know
Hotel transfers aren't included, but public transport reaches the departure point. Main Deck only has wheelchair access. Infants sit free on laps; book a seat if they need one. The boat design prioritises passenger comfort and minimal environmental impact.
