Poole Sightseeing Bus and Boat Combination Ticket

Your bus will depart from either Poole, Bournemouth, Sandbanks or any location along the 25 stops route. The main bus stop is just by Bournemouth Pier (behind the Hot Rocks restaurant), but with other convenient stops on the East Cliff, West Cliff and in Bournemouth Square.  The sightseeing journey to Poole, which features entertaining English commentary on loudspeakers, lasts approximately 45 minutes, while the return journey to Bournemouth Pier takes about 30 minutes.

Following the coast west along the edge of Poole Bay, take in the historic wooded chines, before dropping down to the shoreline of Poole Harbour.  Heading out onto the Sandbanks peninsular you will have views of the sea on one side of the bus and the harbour on the other side, before driving past the glamorous houses of the rich and famous on Sandbanks.  Driving through Lilliput and through Poole Park, the bus will take you right onto Poole Quay and stop outside the Poole Quay Hotel. Facing the harbour, the boat departure point is a few minutes walk to your right, look for the blue Coastal Cruises Kiosk.

Embark on-board at Poole Quay for a relaxing cruise of your choice. Our Poole Harbour & Islands Circular Cruise will take you around Brownsea island, the biggest of five islands in the harbour. Should you wish to venture outside the harbour our Poole Jurassic Circular Cruise or Poole/Swanage Sightseeing Cruise will take you past the Jurassic Coast. You can spend some time in Swanage or remain on-board and come back to Poole straight away.
