About

Take a forty minute trip on the beautiful River Frome from Wareham Quay on our 12 seater open-top boat Orca.

We depart up river at first, under the bridge taking our time to see if we can glimpse any of the water voles or otters that live on the river, as well as the rich bird life on and above the water. On our return down-river we pass the Quay and Priory Hotel towards Redcliffe. There is a comentary describing the history of the Saxon walled town of Wareham.

Daily river trips are available from 11am onwards - see the A-board on Wareham Quay for exact departure times. Boat trips are subject to tide times. There is also the option of evening trips or early morning trips into the harbour, tide allowing.

We accept dogs on our boat trips at no cost.

Bookings are not needed. If you wish to ensure a seat on a particular trip, please call or text us on 07811 135456.

You can visit our website for the latest information: warehamrivercuises.co.uk or email us for any other enquiries: warehamrivercruises@gmail.com.
