Great cruise. - Very enjoyable cruise, the young guy doing the commentary was very informative and entertaining. The boat was very stable, two of us are not particularly good on boats but there was no rocking or pitching at all. Very relaxing and good value for money.

Very good trip - We traveled on the last cruise of the day. There were very few of us on the boat and we were able to move seats during the trip to see the best views. The scenery is amazing. We saw an eagle perched on a tree on the shore, bad luck not carrying a zoom camera. I recommend the trip

Serene hour on the Lake - We enjoyed an hour long cruise on Leane lake this afternoon. The cruise was everything that was advertised - comfortable and weather proof. The captain and host was knowledgeable regarding the lake and its history and geology, as well as the local fauna and flora. In our view the cost for this ride represented a very good value.
