Transportation
Transportation- Please make your own way to the main wharf in Strahan
- Your cruise will depart from the Strahan Esplanade – and don’t forget your boarding passes! You can collect these on the Esplanade the day before or by 8.15am on the morning of your cruise.
- Strahan is on Tasmania’s remote west coast – around five hours’ drive west of Hobart, and approximately four hours’ drive southwest of Launceston. Strahan is a 50 minute flight from Hobart. (Once you get here, you will find Gordon River Cruises at 24 The Esplanade, Strahan.)
- Leave Hobart on the Brooker Highway and drive through the city’s northern suburbs to Granton.From here, follow the Lyell Highway (A10) through New Norfolk, Hamilton and Ouse.(It is a good idea to break your journey at Lake St Clair at the southern edge of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.) Take your time to complete the last section of your journey to Strahan, which takes you along winding mountainous sections of the road to your west coast destination.

Summer temperatures can reach a pleasant 20-30 degrees, with an average rainfall of 200mm in the summer; whereas winter can drop to 5-10 degrees and rains can fall at 550-650mm (cold and wet) in the winter. It may be clear blue skies one minute and moody clouds the next – a feature that adds to the magic, wild, unpredictable and spectacular qualities of this border between civilisation and nature. But it pays to be prepared, whatever your planned Strahan activities...
