Bird Watching Cruises in Devon
Our Guided Bird Watching Cruises are ideal for anyone who would like to see the many thousands of birds that migrate to the area during the autumn and winter months.

Suitable for beginners and beneficial to experts, these cruises have a full commentary throughout from ornithologists. You will discover and learn all about the species, habitat, and behaviors of the thousands of birds on the Exe Estuary and East Devon Coast.

The award-winning Chunk of Devon pasties – both steak and vegetarian – are available to pre-order only, and super tasty organic soup is available on board.

-----------------------
Sailing: Varying dates from November through to March

Duration: 3hours approx

Adults: £14.00 | Children: £14.00*
Groups of more than 15 adults: £12.00

*Please note that due to the length and nature of these cruises, we do not recommend them for young children. Dogs are not permitted for our Guided Bird Watching Cruises.
----------------------

The Exe is one of the most important estuaries in Europe for wildlife, particularly for wintering waders and wildfowl. It is nationally renowned as a Site of Special Scientific Interest as an important habitat for these birds. Also, as a selected RAMSAR site, the wetlands are designated to be of international importance for its nature and wildlife. The tranquil waters of The River Exe allows us to cruise throughout the winter months to see the wide range of wildlife.

Alongside the live commentary, you will also be given a Bird Watching Checklist for you to mark off the birds that you have seen on your cruise – a great souvenir to take home! The multi-award winning Chunk of Devon pasties are available to pre-order only and organic soup is also on board with our seasonal favourites. Our boats have inside heated lower decks with large windows for great viewing and outside upper decks for the whole outdoor experience! There is a fully licenced bar on board serving a range of local ales and gin, alongside a range of hot and cold refreshments and snacks. Whilst our boats are modern, they also keep their traditional features, they are exceptionally clean, well maintained and there are toilets on board.
