This photo makes all of us at GRC & Strahan Village so proud. It’s the first time in GRC History we have had an entirely female senior Crew. Today Amanda was the Captain, Emily was the Engineer and Han was the Crew Leader. Amanda started as the GRC Cleaner, Em worked at Maccas before joining as Crew and Han started as Crew after working in jobs on the NW Coast. I can’t describe how good this makes us feel, it’s been a long time in the making, go girls ❤️, something to celebrate for sure.

Spirit of the Wild headed down to Hobart a couple of weeks ago for her annual maintenance and a freshen-up. Our crew gave her a thorough clean, and she’s looking better than ever!

We departed Hobart on Sunday and are now back in Strahan — ready to set sail again.

Cruises resume this weekend, and we can’t wait to welcome you aboard!

The Gordon River Cruise begins its journey into the wilderness at Heritage Landing, where guests disembark for a guided walk through one of Tasmania’s most treasured natural environments. This section of the ancient temperate rainforest—part of the UNESCO-listed Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area—reveals a world of lush greenery, earthy aromas, and the subtle sounds of native birdlife.

As you explore the raised boardwalk, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the region’s ecological significance and its place in one of the last cool-climate rainforests on Earth. It’s a chance to experience nature in its purest form and reflect on a landscape that has remained largely unchanged for millennia.

On The Pillinger Explorer, you’ll cruise across the mysterious waters of Macquarie Harbour aboard MV Sophia and into the heart of Tasmania’s forgotten history. Hidden deep within the rainforest lies East Pillinger—a lost mining town slowly swallowed by nature. Here, moss-covered ruins and crumbling relics tell stories of ambition, isolation, and the wild spirit of the west.

This is no ordinary cruise. You’ll visit a working fish farm, glide through the notorious Hells Gates, and step onto Bonnet Island to hear the incredible tales of lighthouse keepers who once watched over the sea. Every moment is guided, every story real, every view unforgettable.

With just ten guests per departure, this is a rare chance to experience the rugged beauty of Tasmania up close—complete with morning tea and a gourmet chef-prepared lunch served on board.

Departing daily from Strahan, The Pillinger Explorer is made for curious travellers, adventurous souls, and lovers of untold stories.
