If you’re looking for a unique way to experience Bath and its surrounding ancient landscapes, we have five cruises and sailing tours available that offer just that. These aren't traditional river cruises; instead, they focus on exploring sites of historical significance with a nautical twist, primarily centered around Stonehenge and Avebury.
The duration of these tours varies considerably, ranging from 30 minutes to an impressive 480 minutes, allowing you to tailor your experience to the time you have available. We offer options that fit both shorter breaks and more extended explorations. Pricing also reflects this variation, with tours costing anywhere between £8 and a significant £600.
Currently, our most popular tour – “Stonehenge, Avebury & Sacred Sites – Private Day Tour” – consistently receives the highest rating of 5.0/5 based on four reviews. This particular option represents the higher end of the price range at £255, reflecting its longer duration and private nature.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly experience lasting around 30 to 60 minutes, several shorter sailing excursions are available for around £8 - £40. If you’re looking for a quicker way to see Stonehenge or Avebury, these would be ideal. Alternatively, if you prefer a slower pace and a deeper dive into the history of these incredible sites with a small group, the top-rated private tour offers the most immersive experience.
