Poole/Swanage Sightseeing Cruise
TOUR DESCRIPTION

Start your day on charming Poole Quay before boarding our cruise to the Victorian resort of Swanage, passing Brownsea Island, the beaches of Studland Bay and the opening cliffs of the Jurassic coast. Or you could do the opposite and start your day by coming on board in Swanage and making your way to Poole. Swanage was transformed during the Victorian era into a seaside resort and has now settled down into an atmospheric town with a long beach, interesting shops, fresh air and delicious food. On this trip you can enjoy two and a half or five hours ashore before returning once more to either Poole or Swanage, seeing for another time, spectacular rock formations and open blue seas.
