Speedboat Experience Days: Forget open-top buses – here’s a tour that’ll really blow the
cobwebs away! Strap in for a 70-minute RIB ride on the Thames, and
take in the capital’s waterfront sights – including the London Eye,
Tower Bridge, O2 Arena, and the Thames Barrier.
Your journey begins at Embankment Pier, where you’ll board the
twin turbo, 740hp RIB (rigid-hulled inflatable boat if you’re
wondering).
Once everyone’s donned their life jackets and taken a
seat, you’ll set off upriver, towards Big Ben and the Houses of
Parliament.
You’ll catch a glimpse of the MI6 building, before
turning back and accelerating downriver, past the London Eye, St.
Paul’s, and the Tower of London.
Once the boat passes under Tower
Bridge, your guides can really open up the throttle.
You’ll speed
through the Docklands – passing Canary Wharf and the O2 Arena, and
eventually arriving at the Thames Barrier, London’s impressive
defence against high tides and storm surges.
Throughout the tour,
passengers benefit from an entertaining commentary, which provides
some context to all the sights and thrills.
Back at Embankment
Pier, you’ll disembark – windswept – with a new appreciation for
the capital’s historic, ever-changing waterfront.
The Thames Barrier RIB Experience is a unique tour for
thrill-seeking sightseers.
An Experience Days gift voucher is the
perfect excuse for a grand day out!
