Poole Harbour and Islands Cruise for Two
About this experience
Hop aboard a boat in Poole for a leisurely cruise around Europe’s largest natural harbour, and take in the seaside sights, wildlife and scenery with this Poole Harbour and Islands Cruise for Two.
With a human history dating back to 295 BC, Poole Harbour has long been an important part of Britain. As you drift along on your cruise through the shallow waters your skipper will fill you in on the sights and surroundings, so keep your camera close if you want to capture the intriguing scenery as it passes by.
There are famous houses to spot at Sandbanks, beautiful beaches and historic Poole bays, a castle and Lord Baden-Powell’s original campsite to see as you pass by Brownsea, and keep your eyes peeled for local fauna who might pop their heads up to say hello!

“An epic day out ”
Had a great time at Grizedale Forest GoApe. There is a good mix of activities in the treetop challenge including some epic zip wires. Definitely was pushed out of my comfort zone but always felt safe. The kids in our group loved it. There can be a bit of waiting around between the platforms. Our experience lasted well over three hours from start to finish so allow plenty of time. A very good value experience.
