Newtown Harbour & Beaulieu River Tour
A wildlife-watching cruise and tour of Newtown Harbour

Meeting Point: Buckler’s Hard We will board Lazy Daze for a gentle 5-hour cruise along the Beaulieu River, crossing the Solent to Newtown Harbour. After a boat tour of the harbour, we will dock for approximately an hour. During this time, you can either join Marcus for a birdwatching walk around the nature reserve or relax at the centre with coffee and cake (coffee and cake will also be available on the boat). The western Solent is teeming with wildlife, and no two trips are ever the same. This high-tide cruise will offer the opportunity to observe a wide variety of birds and other wildlife from a unique perspective, all while maintaining a safe and responsible distance to ensure no disturbance. Our guests will have the chance to immerse themselves in the beautiful scenery of these peaceful corners of the New Forest and take advantage of fantastic photo opportunities—both of the landscape and the wildlife.
