Reviews
- Great family fun - It was brilliant with our 2yo - she was so excited to see the trains and the view along the journey was beautiful. The commentary on the boat was well delivered. Would highly recommend!
- All lovely - All done very well. Everything clean (train/boats), staff friendly and commentary on the river cruise added a bit of fun. Really good day out, lots of families. Take hats, drinks and dogs! If you have one.
- An enjoyable day! - Had a wonderful day riding on the steam railway and a boat trip along the River Dart. Excellent scenery along the coast. The ferry was quick and efficient.
