Boat Trips on the Thames
From April to early October we operate a scheduled, fully licensed passenger service of boat tips on the Thames between Richmond, Twickenham, Kingston and Hampton Court, enabling enjoyment of the historic landmarks and places of interest in this area.
Please view the tabs below to see departures from each pier. This year's fares are listed under the final tab. Please view the river map at the bottom of the page so you know where on the river each pier is and click on each one to find out about the local area.
We are also running two days of free boat trips on the Thames to celebrate our 300th anniversary and the start of the tripping season - please click here to find out more!
