Thrill seeking trip along the Thames to Canary Wharf travelling at high speed with stunning views of the old wharehouses, Tower Bridge and the City.

Was a lot of fun. We had the whole boat to ourselves. Lots of laughs. Met friends there and our teenagers loved it much more than some of the more historic sites. They wanted to do it again.

An absolutely amazing experience from start to finish!! It was raining so aswell as the thrill of the speed zooming down past London Bridge to the sounds of the James Bond theme tune we felt the rain in our faces and it made for an even more exciting ride!

It is lively but short. The activity is well organised, good quality equipment and attention to safety details. Scary but confident in staff ability to do a good job. A one off experience.
