Tonbridge River Excursions and More!


Launched in April 2015. A new, green, electric powered boat available for a sedate guided river cruises on the River Medway in Tonbridge Kent. April 2015 also saw the return of rowing boats for hire. Both the river trips and the rowing boats will be available from the Big Bridge during our operational season (see dates below)

The electric launch "Enid May" will run trips in the Tonbridge area and is the ideal platform for photographing the area and the wildlife. The boat will seat up to 12 passengers comfortably and is safe for kids. Why not enjoy a relaxing 50 minute river trip or book for a private "voyage" either way you get close to nature and can glean some area history from the skipper before finally returning to your starting point by the castle.

2023


The plan for 2023 is to continue running river trips, wildlife experiences, and rowing boat hire, we'll stick to what we know. We prefer that all trips are pre-booked (Wildlife experiences must be pre booked), this is now easy with our proven online booking system, however, we can still accept some spontaneous walk-ins if space allows.

If you are unable to book online, email or call us and we will assist in making a booking for you.

The main news is that despite the rise in the cost of everything we are not increasing the majority of our prices, but will hold them at 2022 levels for at least 2023. The only exception is the child price on the rowing boats that is going up from £2.50 to £3 per hour.

Rowing boats remain a turn up and go service, if they are busy, we will take your number, you can then go for a walk or coffee, we'll call you when your boat is ready.
