Event Spotlight | Enjoy a sunset Tamar River cruise
16+22 August | $60
Ready to slow down, warm up and truly relax this winter? Join Tamar River Cruises this August for a special sunset experience on the water.
Departing at 4:45pm, cruise through the spectacular Cataract Gorge and along the serene Tamar River as the evening sky comes alive with the warm colours of sunset. Guests will be welcomed aboard with a complimentary glass of local Tamar Valley wine and invited to simply sit back, relax and soak in the beauty of the river at sunset.
As the city lights begin to appear and the sun dips behind the surrounding hills, take in the peaceful atmosphere and stunning scenery from a unique perspective.
Whether you're looking for a romantic evening, a catch-up with friends, or simply an opportunity to slow down and unwind, the Tamar Sunset Cruise offers the perfect winter escape.
Registration required, and space is limited! Book your spot at the link below.
