Sunday 8 January and Sunday 22 January Cruises are tide dependent. Selected dates/times only. See details below. Booking essential
It's certainly worth the early start to see the wildlife on the Exe foraging for food this early in the morning on a cruise that lasts 1.5 hours (approx).

East Devon’s Countryside Education Ranger helps children centres and families to benefit from fun but challenging outdoor play sessions
Countryside Education Ranger Penny Evans has been busy holding a number of outdoor risky play sessions throughout October for groups of preschool children and parents from the Axe Valley Children's Centres. Risky play is about providing opportunities for children to encounter or create uncertainty, unpredictability and potential hazards as part of their play. However, it doesn’t mean putting children in danger or serious harm.
Just because the summer is over, doesn’t mean that the fun has to end... To make sure the adventures keep on rolling, East Devon District Council’s Countryside team, together with 13 partner organisations, has been busy putting together a packed programme of 100 exciting events that will be taking place across the whole of East Devon from October 2016 through to March 2017.
There’s something for everyone with a wide range of fun filled outdoor activities, suitable for people of all ages. Choose from traditional favourites such as bird box making, wildlife gardening and wreathing...
