There are several various Bristol Packet Boat Rides to pick from, according to how long you intend to buy and which improvements to your journey you'd like many! The ships are generally available topped, with covered sections.The City Docks Tour, departing either through the Wapping Wharf ss Great Britain or Packet Pontoon Watershed, is a great 45 minute jaunt around the drifting Harbour with informed commentary that is historical. It's great for families to be short perhaps the people too young to hear the commentary (bad luck, it may be quite amusing!) will love the places and sensations for that long.The longer trip to Beese's Tea Gardens includes a single hour stop for refreshments so it's a pleasant option to break the journey up for the medium ones whom get itchy legs sitting still for too much time! It's the departure that is exact same options plus Bristol Bridge, and it also features the commentary.For those who can manage a little longer regarding the water the Avon Gorge Cruise the most affecting: at 3 hours very long it may be beyond smaller youngsters' tolerance but it's beneficial when you sail under Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge, through the beautiful Avon Gorge and directly down the Bristol Channel!Other options include a pub lunch excursion, a 5hr river cruise, cream tea cruise and a lengthier lunching day at the Beese's. With options like these just try and find an excuse never to get!
