With over 1000 years of history there is so much to discover on your Tower of London Experience. From the Crown Jewels to the Traitor’s Gate, the Bloody Towers to the dungeons, it is sure to amaze both young and old.

As a part of this experience day you will have a ticket for unlimited sightseeing boat trips up and down the River Thames. This will enable you to see many of the famous London landmarks from the water – always a wonderful experience for kids of any age and also great for taking really memorable photos of your day.

This is a 2 person or family experience, offering you fast track entry to the Tower.

You will meet your expert guide at the departure point and set out towards the Thames Bridge. Your RIB has the advantage of being able to access points that larger boats cannot. The tour may include seeing such landmarks as the London Eye, Shakespeare’s Globe, the House of Parliament, Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London and the famous Canary Wharf. This is a perfect trip for a family, and will give you a whole new perspective of London.

The daytime tours consist of a paddle upstream to a pub or restaurant for some nosh, then downstream for the return journey. If you crave to see the quieter side of London then consider the sunrise / sunset paddle which will take you past Hampton Court or Regent’s Canal. You will see a variety of sights, including wildlife as you take in London away from the hustle and bustle.

Your instructor will meet you at the beach, and will help to outfit you and your guest (or just you) with a wetsuit and surfboard that suits your abilities. True beginners will start on the sand – learning the basics of how to surf before taking it out to the waves. Your instructor will assist at all times, giving tips, offering advice and keeping you encouraged until you finally get the hang of it.

Prior to your experience you will attend a comprehensive briefing which will cover safety regulations and basic controls. Then you will be given plenty of time to take the two watercraft around the lake. At the end of the experience you can even see how you fare when competing in a time-trial event. Finally you will attend a prize-giving session – and maybe you’ll be a winner! This is an excellent experience for one or two people.

You’ll start with a full safety briefing and be outfitted in safety gear, and then you will be taken to the powerboat. Your driver will take the boat through the moves, and then you will have about 15 minutes of driving and instruction. You’ll even have a chance to try your skills on the offshore racing course. Get ready for the ride of your life – because this is it!

Your experience will be shared with 3 other drivers, and you’ll start with a full safety briefing. Once you’re outfitted in a racing and life jacket you’ll head off with a cruise down the river. The drivers will show you exactly what the boat can do when he/she opens it up and takes it through some wave jumping, cornering and racing lines. You’ll even get a chance to pilot the boat through two laps of high-speed action.

Make sure you arrive on time to attend the safety session, or else you won’t be able to participate! An indemnity form needs to be signed, and a parental signature is necessary for those under 18. After the briefing you’ll get outfitted in proper rafting gear and then get into the raft for an amazing trip down some crazy rapids! This is great activity for groups or families, so make it a event you’ll all never forget.

This experience is about 6 hours, so get ready for some serious fishing. You’ll have lots of time to fish and learn from your skipper, and photos will be taken throughout the day so you can show your friends! All your big catches are eligible for the on board fishing competition – so you could be a winner in more ways than one!

This experience takes place in Penarth, Wales. If you’re looking for fishing-related experiences elsewhere in the UK, take a look at the online experience retailers listed below…

Upon arrival you will be given the appropriate safety clothing and attend a briefing on safety as well as an outline of what your day will cover. Your instructor will first take the boat around and show you how it’s done, before you take over. If you attend the full day course you will break for lunch and then hone your skills in the afternoon. If you’ve always liked the idea of sailing now’s your chance to give it a try.
