Ripon Scenic Cruises
Ripon Scenic Cruises offers narrowboat cruises on the Ripon Canal.
Our narrowboat cruises are perfect for seeing the countryside and wildlife at a slower pace, and a great way to spend time with family and friends, or to take some time out for yourself. If you’re looking for things to do in Ripon, look no further.
We run a range of special events throughout the year, including Afternoon Tea Cruises, Supersoaker Cruises and our popular Easter Eggstravaganza.
Private Hire is available – if you would like to book a narrowboat cruise for your party, your friends and family or for a special occasion, please do get in touch.
