  • After a day of cruising along the beautiful waterways, you'll head back to the base ready to hand the boat back by 4.30pm.

Explore the beautiful waterways' wildlife

The waterways are teeming with creatures waiting to be discovered and what better way to observe them than from the comfort of a slow cruising narrow boat?
