See the Outstanding Natural Beauty of the White Cliffs Country from a different angle aboard River Runner

White Cliffs Country is a unique destination, full of hidden gems – where coast meets countryside, ancient meets modern, relaxation meets adventure and England meets Europe. Only an hour from London by train, it enjoys one of the most temperate climates in the UK – and 22% of White Cliffs Country is designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’.

We are the first tour boat in Kent to be WiSe accredited. Our crew are now Standard WiSe certificated, which means we are trained in interacting safely and minimising the disturbance to marine and coastal wildlife including seals, whales, dolphins (cetaceans), basking sharks and seabirds.
