Beaulieu River Boat Trip
A gentle wildlife-watching cruise along the scenic Beaulieu River
Service Description
Meeting at Buckler’s Hard, we’ll board Lazy Daze for a gentle 2.5-hour cruise along the Beaulieu River to the Solent coast and back. The Beaulieu River is teeming with wildlife, making each trip a unique experience. This low-tide cruise offers an ideal opportunity to observe a variety of birds and other wildlife from the peaceful vantage of the river. We operate at a safe and respectful distance to avoid disturbing the natural habitat. Guests can fully immerse themselves in the beautiful scenery of this tranquil corner of the New Forest and capture stunning photos of the landscapes and wildlife. The tour accommodates a maximum group size of ten. Tea, coffee, and cake are provided, and it’s suitable for accompanied children aged five and up. Please note that the fee applies to all ages on this tour. Lifejackets are provided; however, there are no restroom facilities on board. Lazy Daze is fully licensed to operate on the Beaulieu River. There is a £5.00 parking charge per car at the Buckler’s Hard marina.
