River Cruises Along the River Dart and Wildlife Cruises Along the Devon Coast

One of the most charming activities while visiting Cornwall and Devon is to take in a cruise along the River Dart. Typically the cruise will start from Dartmouth and end at the lovely town of Totnes. The River Dart is one of the most beautiful estuaries in Britain – and a cruise provides the holiday maker with an opportunity to drink in the rich tapestry of history, wildlife and pure scenic beauty all in one go.

For example, a pleasure cruise from Dartmouth to Totnes would allow the holidaymaker to see the following:

• Village of Dittisham.
• The lovely, old cottages of Duncannon.
• Sir Walter Raleigh’s boat house.
• Dame Agatha Christie’s estate.
• Greenway Quay.
• Stoke Gabriel.
• Sharpham Vineyard.

Alternatively, you could also take a wildlife cruise where your tour boat sails along the immaculate Devon coast to catch breathtaking views of basking sharks, leathery turtles, falcons, bottlenosed dolphins, shearwaters, grey seals, and much more. This is a wonderful experience, although the tours only take place between May and July.
