    Boat trip on Henley Regatta stretch of the Thames

    Rivertime Boat Trust offer a two-hour boat trip from Henley-on-Thames through the lock to go upstream past exclusive houses and returning to go downstream under Henley Bridge following the route of the Henley Regatta. The boat is fully accessible, the staff are wonderfully helpful and knowledgeable, the stretch of river is stunning and the overall experience is first class. Our son has complex needs and we found the trip to be a calming multi-sensory experience with the gentle hum of the engine, the sparkling water and the cool breeze all beneficial for him. The boat trip is pre-booked either as a private charter maximum 12 persons or as part of a group.
