From the time of our enquiries to making our booking, Kim was very accommodating. It was a treat for our birthdays and Kim made us feel very special and her tour was amazing. Her knowledge and enthusiasm has given us a much deeper appreciation for nature. We definitely recommend you make time for one of her tours if you are in the area.

Amazing Experience on the Leven River Cruise! The Leven River Cruise was an absolute highlight-peaceful, scenic, and beautifully run. From the moment we stepped aboard, she was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts while letting us soak in the stunning views. The boat was comfortable and spotless, and the gentle pace made it easy to relax and enjoy the river, wildlife, and surrounding landscape. It felt like the perfect mix of learning and leisure. I’d highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a memorable, calming experience on the water.

Very warm and knowledgeable guide we have! Kim shared her life stories as she brought us around the forest walk and this made us appreciate the river and conservation efforts even more!

We enjoyed a great morning on the river with Kim. We learnt about the local history, caring for the river, the wildlife and the birds along the way. Kim has a wealth of knowledge and it was easy to listen to her. Morning tea from the basket gave a great picnic feel and added to our day. As part of our trip we got to walk around the gardens which was another highlight and again Kim had so much knowledge to share. Our morning together was perfect. Relaxed and comfortable on the boat, lots to look at, easy conversation and informative. I recommend this as a perfect way to spend a few hours.

Wonderful day on the water with Kim - so full of knowledge and interesting stories around Ulverstone’s history! Our walk through the forest was a real bonus with heaps of fungi after the recent rain. Stunning reflections on the water made for beautiful photos - thank you Kim!
