About the event

Celebrate the arrival of spring and witness one of nature’s miracles, the dawn chorus.

Meeting Point: Your boat operator and guide will join you at the signed NWT Ranworth Broad Car Park, Farm Lane, Ranworth, a short distance from the start of the boardwalk (What3Words glows.forces.burden, nearest postcode NR13 6HY) for this early morning adventure. From there you will be guided through the village to the reserve and then up to the Broad where the boat will depart from. It may be an early start but it's worth it! 

Please note - this event is not suitable for children under 10 years of age. Please confirm child age when booking.

Important Health and Safety Information - please read prior to booking

We strongly recommend wearing stout and waterproof footwear and warm, waterproof clothing. To allow for maximum all-round observation the boat is an open craft and during the trip we will be entering some relatively exposed areas. Passengers will need to be able to negotiate (on foot) two steep steps into the boat and also the distance from the NWT car park or limited disabled parking area at Broad Road to the boat departure point so please consider this when making a booking.
