What to expect
The catamaran departs Strahan Wharf at 9am sharp. Early on, you'll pass through Hells Gates—narrow passages between rocky headlands—and observe salmon and trout farms dotting the coast. At Sarah Island, you'll disembark for a walking tour of the 19th-century convict settlement's remains. Back on-board, lunch arrives as you cruise deeper into the Gordon River's steep-sided valley. The rainforest closes in; the air cools. After two hours of cruising, you'll walk a short boardwalk trail through the old-growth forest, spotting ferns and native trees. Return to Strahan by 3pm.
