Boat Trips

Take a Boat Trip on the rivers of the Norfolk Broads National Park, there is no better way to spend an afternoon, slowly cruising down the river, enjoying the beautiful landscape and local wildlife whilst aboard a chartered passenger day boat. There are several sight-seeing broads cruiser companies that run scheduled hourly services during the summer season. There are several places to take a boat trip from; with an interlinking bus service The Broads Hopper (bike friendly) and the Poppy Line train service that stops at Wroxham/Hoveton station making it easily accessible from Norwich, even without a car.

Relax whilst gently heading upstream onboard a well equipped and comfortable passenger Broads Cruiser; taking in this beautiful untamed wetlands of reed beds and marshes; enjoy a spot of bird watching or looking for the wildlife of the riverbank like otters before a spot of afternoon tea and cakes and heading home on the calm waters of the Norfolk Broads. Taking a boat trip on the Norfolk Broads is one of the best ways to see and explore this unique landscape and well worth a family ticket.
