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.

Sightings of majestic sea eagles, dazzling azure king fishers, goshawks and brown hawks are possible on every tour, and spectacular views are guaranteed from every seat. If you’re lucky you might even spot a Tassie platypus!

There are a variety of tours available, with each focusing on a different aspect of the river. Some are photography tours, others include a bushwalk through the forest, and meal options are also available – you’re guaranteed to find the perfect combo to suit your style of tour.
