Great fun - We did the full return cruise from Glenridding. We booked on the first sailing and it was pretty full but most people got off at the first stop to go walking. We were being much more lazy so stayed on and got some drinks from the bar. It was wonderful to sit in the sun drinking a cold drink and watching the lovely scenery. Boat staff were very friendly and helpful and prices on board were reasonable. It was £50 for two adults plus £7 to park, which is expensive. Personally I feel that if you have a ticket it should include parking, it feels a little like they’re overly exploiting customers making them pay extra. But hey, clearly works! 100% recommend this for anyone wanting a lovely days activity
