One of Tasmania’s true hidden gems, the Leven River is an absolute paradise for birdwatchers and anyone else who loves to get close to nature.
Just 20 minutes drive from Devonport, or 1hr20mins from Launceston, a day out on the water with Kim and the team at Leven River Cruises is the best and most relaxing way for you and your family to see this beautiful corner of Tasmania.
There are two big differences to a Leven River cruise that I absolutely love, and that make it surprisingly different to any other river cruise you will find in Tasmania.
First of all, it’s the Leven River itself. This river is a tidal waterway, meaning it is constantly rising, falling, and changing its shape every minute of every day – so you never know exactly what surprises await!
The other thing I really like is their boat, the Jus-Leven. Unlike other tours, this boat is compact and nimble, meaning you can go places that simply wouldn’t be possible with a large boat filled with dozens of other tourists.

“We had a perfect day and the reflections on the river were out of this world. Kim gave a really good insight into the history of the river. After a peaceful trip up the river we went ashore for a great little rainforest walk before coming back to a little picnic area and enjoyed a great lunch. Thanks Kim for a perfect day!”
– Ellen
