5Great experience
Private hire for our group - great organisation, food and allowed us to host our own music which was excellent - an awesome trip
2The tour ended in an hour...
The tour ended in an hour and 10 min. Didn't have the chance for a close view of the rocks or get to the other side and Swanage. What ashame there weren't any prior announcements that we would not make so.
5Excellent boat trip
Excellent boat trip, very interesting commentary where we learned a lot. supurb
3Nice but disappointing.
Starts from the Quay, Poole Harbour, goes round Old Harry Rocks and stops at Swanage pier, before returning to Poole Harbour. It does NOT pass Charmouth or surrounding fossil cliffs farther west.
5Good few hours
Lots of fun and an interesting look at the coast. And the chalk cliffs
5Great experience
Lovely outing with great views. The audio from captain were great explaining the surrounding areas and their history.

About Poole
Poole, a Dorset port on one of the largest natural harbours in the world, has a busy quay, Sandbanks, Brownsea Island and the Jurassic Coast close by.
Poole stands on Poole Harbour in Dorset, one of the largest natural harbours in the world, a sheltered basin dotted with islands and fringed by heath and reedbeds. The old town grew around a quay, trading with Newfoundland in the eighteenth century, and its streets of merchants' houses and pubs and the Poole Museum recall that wealth. A ferry port on the harbour sends boats to the Channel Islands and France.
