Hop aboard the River Runner for a memorable trip along the beautiful River Stour to see the wildlife and learn about this historic river. This memorable boat trip travels towards Shellness Point on the edge of Pegwell Nature Reserve to see the resident grey seal colony and a wide variety of seabirds.

Seal trips from Sandwich last approximately 1 hour 45 minutes

Travel down the River Stour taking in all the hidden history and wildlife on the way until you reach the resident grey seal colony on the edge of Pegwell Nature Reserve. The colony started here roughly 35 years ago and you'll have time to admire these beautiful marine mammals and capture the amazing views of our local coastline before heading back up river to Sandwich Quay.
