Description

Discover Ulverstone from a different perspective on a relaxed cruise along the tidal Leven River in Tasmania. Travel on the Jus’Leven, a small flat-bottom boat designed to glide through shallow waters, giving you close access to the river’s changing reflections, natural habitats, and historic surroundings. With a maximum of 16 passengers on board, every guest gets a clear view of the landscape as the journey unfolds. As you set out on the river, listen to expert commentary about the area’s heritage and ecosystem. The cruise explores the story of the Leven River and its connection to Ulverstone, while also drawing your attention to the wildlife that lives along its banks and in the surrounding skies. Keep watch for sea eagles overhead and the Tasmanian azure kingfisher among the waterways, while the calm conditions may also reward patient guests with a platypus sighting. Throughout the 2-hour experience, you can settle in and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the river. The boat’s cozy size creates an intimate atmosphere, making it easy to take in the scenery and hear the commentary clearly. You are welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks to enjoy during the cruise as the boat moves through this scenic part of Tasmania. The experience finishes back at the departure point at Leven River Cruises after the return journey along the river.
