Discover the River Medway on Lapwing. She is a traditionally styled narrow boat and offers space for groups of 12 to book to sit aboard - great for craft and social groups - and now can be booked for river trips, nature safaris and sunset cruises. She sits alongside The Old Boat Café which is family-run and specialises in healthy local Kentish faire; amazing coffee and delicious cakes. It is simple to escape the town and enjoy a relaxing trip on the river with a Cream Tea or scooped local ice cream. A picnic can also be provided.
Worth watching out for are the wildlife trips, the bat cruises and the photography trips. Check out the book experiences for dates and availablity.
Please check the book tickets pages for specific days and routes.
