[dropcap type=”circle”]W[/dropcap]irral’s wild things have rushed to sign up for one of our most unique attractions and many dates are already sold out.
2015’s Hilbre Explorer boat trips, which take aspiring David Attenboroughs on a tour of the Hilbre Island network, were booked solid throughout the season, which runs from late April until early October.
Bookings are now being taken for this year’s season, and many who missed out last year have already signed up.
Cllr Chris Meaden, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture said, “2015 was a revelation. So many people got in touch to book trips that we were left with a waiting list running over into 2016. The Hilbre Islands group is a natural wonder. Thousands of people walk over to visit them every year. The Hilbre Explorer gives you a very different view, with the possibility of spotting seals and even porpoises. I would recommend that anyone who wants to go on a trip gets in touch as soon as possible. More than 200 people went out last year, and we are very confident this year’s trips will be even more popular.”
A two-hour Hilbre Explorer trip costs £35 for adults, or £25 for children. A family of 2 children and 2 adults can pay the discounted price of £100. There are concessions available for group deals and midweek trips.
Children must be aged 8 years or above, and please note that these dates are already sold out: May 8 and 9, June 8, 22, and 23, July 8 and 22, and September 20.
Wirral Sailing Centre is based at West Kirby Marine Lake. For more information and to book your place, call the very helpful Centre on 0151 625 3292.
Obviously trips are dependent on weather conditions, but cancelled trips will be either fully refunded or alternative dates offered.
