We packed a picnic and a bottle of wine and had a great time cruising, learning about the river and seeing the sights.
Excellent we did the 5 hour cruise and the lunch was fantastic - Kim is an excellent skipper and host and she has so much knowledge of the local history.
We were suprised at the quality of the cruise and the historical knowledge of the tourguide and owner. We experinaced the river at low tide, and then a completely different experience of the river and scenery at high tide.The history of the river and Ulverstone was interesting and detailed with old photos to complete th experience. The bush walk was equally as interesting with the bush area being kept in its natural state. The 3 course meal which was cooked in the bush area was excellent. The facilities were in excellent condition and favourabe to all kinds of weather.
This is a great little cruise which travels up the Leven River departing from the town of Ulverstone. Kim, the owner and operator is a joy to travel with. She knew a lot about the area and kept us informed with interesting facts and history of spots along the way. We stopped in the upper reaches of the river for a short walk and lunch which was very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this cruise.
We had a lovely peaceful morning cruising the river and hearing about a lot of the history of the area. Beautiful reflections on the water
Not only was the river boat trip great, the lunch delicious, the scenery beautiful, the bushwalk easy and educational and sooo uplifting...kim (owner, captain, cook, guide, educator and animal welfare carer) and her daughter felt like old dear friends! So very open and hospitable. Kims extensive local history, flora, river and fauna knowledge is impressive and combined with lots of local colorful tales as well. . The 5 hour lunch cruise is highly recommended and worth every cent then some!
Such a spectacular attraction in the little town of Ulverstone. I have been a couple of times and wouldn't hesitate to go many, many more times, I love it! Kim does a fantastic job of her cruise and is warm and welcoming. Her knowledge is extensive and entertaining. Beautiful views, walks and wildlife. A very special experience with friends and family!
