Essex to Kent

We have frequent trips to allow visitors to come accross to Kent, disembarking at Queenborough Harbour. https://queenborough-harbour.co.uk/events/

The trip is called lunch in kent as it can be a short time ashore 2-3 hours, with plenty of establishments in Historic Queenborough and visitor attractions in the local historic sites. Or take a brist walk around the island to Sheerness and Milton Beaches, or take a taxi to Elmey Reserve.

But if you can join us on a trip with a bit longer ashore time you can explore further afield on the Isle of Sheppey and in North Kent.
