Poole Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Lots of fun and an interesting look at the coast. And the chalk cliffs

Good fun and informative about the harbour. Nice size boat, big enough for space, small enough to chat to other passengers. First time on a boat for our grandson and he loved it.

The purchase and booking process were both quick and completely hasslefree.all the staff were kind and polite both on the boat and in the office.the commentary was interesting funny easy to follow and clear in a word I can highly recommend it to everyone.

Lovely outing with great views. The audio from captain were great explaining the surrounding areas and their history.

Take a jumper as a little breezy take a camera as lovely sunsets. You can order fish and chips but there is a cafe that serves drinkscand snacks.

Really lovely trip from start to finish. The fish and chips were out of this world. Very informative commentary but did break up in parts. Would highly recommend.

A brilliant evening cruise The boat was comfortable, the fish and chips were excellent. The guide commentary was entertaining and informative. A great evening out.

Excellent experience for the family, weather great, lots of highlights and running commentary. Lots of photos taken for the memories.

I have been on a lot of excursions but this may have been my favorite. It was a lot of fun, the views were amazing and all the equipment was top notch. The price was reasonable given the length of the tour and the equipment.

Very friendly and knowledgeable guide made the history of the town come to life and welcomed questions which she obviously enjoyed responding to. Highly recommend to learn more about what's hidden behind the much changed exteriors of the modern town

What a great day out, covered so much ground and saw the Swanage coast line and countryside at its best. Andrew was a great guide and made sure we all made the most of the e-bikes. This is a great trip for people of all ages and cycling abilities

Kate’s tour was both fun and fascinating. With a wealth of knowledge about Poole from Roman times to the present, she shared key bits of information about specific buildings as well as the the area in general. Highly recommend.

I recommend it to everyone. Who wants to see the whole of Dorset. from excellent Hills ,it is a enjoyable day out

My teenagers, my husband and I went on a 3 hour e bike tour of some of Swanage’s and around, hot spots. Nike was super relaxed and very accommodating with whatever pace or route option we wanted to choose from. Highly recommend especially if you have teenagers that you struggle to get outdoors. They both thoroughly enjoyed it!

A great bike ride packed with interest, a castle, pretty villages, old steam railway , fantastic views and a very knowledgeable guide.

This was an excellent way to see the coast around Poole in an active way but made easy with the e bikes.Andrew our guide was clear and relaxed letting us set the pace and route options depending on ability. It was my first time on an e bike and it was very easy to use. The route variation options were more due to technicality of ‘off road’ areas, rather than fitness ability.Our route was about four hours total with around three hours on the bike with lots of stops for views or rest (and toilets). We covered Poole quay, Sandbanks, Sandbanks chain ferry to Shell Bay, Agglestone Rock, Old Harry Rocks, Manor Farm tea room (Studland), then return route back across the ferry.This was part of an active weekend for us, so this was perfect to see more than we could on foot time wise, and access more than we could by car.Thank you to Andrew and family for a great trip, would throughly recommend!
