Spanish Tapas Evening Theme Trip
Cruise from Colt Hill Wharf in Odiham, to include a Tapas meal and Glass of Wine .
Departing at 7pm, these cruises have tables laid for groups of 4 people, and although we can make slight adjustments you may be asked to share.
These cruises generally last around 2½ hours, taking you westwards to Greywell and King John’s Castle where you can get off to stretch your legs while the boat turns.
If you like our selection of wine, bottles will be available to purchase at the end of the cruise.
Licensed bar will be open.
Cruise in the peaceful surroundings of the Basingstoke Canal
The canal is an SSSI, and not only serves as a local recreational amenity but is also a notable wildlife habitat.
The alkaline water from the chalk springs at Greywell and the acid water content eastward where the canal passes through heathland, has given rise to one of the largest varieties of aquatic plants and invertebrates in the United Kingdom.
As many as 25 of Britain’s 39 species of dragonflies and damselflies inhabit the canal.
You may get lucky and see a Kingfisher that is considered to be a lucky bird. You can also see herons swans, ducks, geese, moorhens (often with young) and various local floras.
Cruise times may be extended in low water conditions.
