Poole Harbour Wildlife Cruises

28 October 2007 to 14 June 2008

Join an RSPB Poole Harbour Wildlife Cruise and see its amazing wildlife in the company of one of our guides.

Poole Harbour is the second largest natural harbour in the world and is internationally important for its rich diversity of birds and wildlife.

Attracted by a rich soup of food hidden in the motionless mud around the harbour, billions of creatures provide rich pickings for birds.

We have three cruise destinations for you to enjoy, with expert commentary to help you identify what you see.

These cruises are extremely popular and can fill up early, so to avoid disappointment advance booking is essential. All bookings must be made through Brownsea Island Ferries.

Opening times

There are a number of cruises between October 2007 and June 2008. All cruises are dependant on reasonable weather conditions.

Facilities

Hot and cold drinks and a limited range of snacks are availiable. The boats have a covered lower deck, which is heated, and an open top deck. All boats are equipped with a toilet. Each cruise has an RSPB guide on board to provide expert commentary to help you identify what you see.

How to get there

At Poole, follow brown tourist signs for Poole Quay, then look for the yellow kiosk.

What should I bring?

Binoculars are essential. Poole Harbour is a cold place in winter, so please bring extra warm clothing and waterproofs.
