Cruise through beautiful temperate rainforest, with stunning views of the Organ Pipes, Cathedral Rock, Derwent River estuary, and the city. Duck your head under tunnels of giant ferns, take a break at the Silver Falls waterfall, walk under historic aqueducts, gaze into crystal clear streams, and expect some close encounters with local wildlife.
