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.
