Wildlife River Trips

Discover the “hidden” Norfolk Broads...

Wildlife River Trips are available seven days a week until October ( reduced service in October call to confirm days and times)

Chill out, relax, learn, be inspired! Pre-Book a one hour trip or private hire and be thrilled & amazed at the beauty of nature in this quiet corner of the Norfolk Broads.

We offer one hour wildlife-watching trips departing regularly from Horsey Staithe. Our trips are friendly and informal so you can relax and enjoy a trip into a Broadland landscape. Lady Ann can carry up to 12 passengers and well behaved dogs are welcome

Private hire is available for early morning and evening tours during the main season and throughout the off season by arrangement which is ideal for birthdays, family outings, picnics, special interest groups, filming & photography and Clubs & Societies.

What might you see?

On warm days in May, June and July the very rare swallowtail butterfly is likely to be on show. Whilst there are more than a dozen sites this butterfly may be seen at, for anyone with restricted mobility we probably have the best chances of finding one.

Accessibility

Access to Lady Ann from the car park is via 150m of solid, well-maintained path.

Entry to Lady Ann is possible for wheelchairs with the assistance of the skipper to help negotiate a 5" up stand of wood at the transom and to deploy and use a ramp inside the boat. The boat can only carry one wheelchair at a time due to the layout.

If you have a mobility scooter there is room to park it where the boat departs from. We regret we are unable to carry such scooters on the boat.

If you haven't pre-booked make your way to the departure point at Horsey Staithe and write your name/s down on the booking sheet for the boat trip you want.
