The Wash is an incredibly important place for birds, both as a permanent residence and as a stop-off and refuelling site during migration. It is made up of a mixture of habitats, primarily mudflats and saltmarsh.
Our Wash cruises provide interest for all, from the avid birder or anyone with a general interest in nature, to people who like the idea of a leisurely cruise down the River Witham into the Wash. Each cruise is lead by expert guides, who help with bird identification and also point out places of local historical interest. Cruises last between four and five hours, depending on the tides.
Our cruise boat, the Boston Belle is well equipped with seating both outside, and in the lounge at the rear. We limit the number of people on each cruise to 50, which is well below the maximum the boat can accommodate. The crew serve delicious refreshments from the galley, including hot and cold drinks and freshly made sandwiches and snacks, including bacon rolls on the morning trips!
