Turalternativ
Resplan
Vårt första stopp är ett alternativ på denna tur, besök den världsberömda Durdle Door, en spektakulär naturlig kalkstensvalv huggen vid havet. Att nå utsiktsplatsen innebär en ojämn promenad på cirka 15 - 20 minuter åt vardera hållet, så detta stopp passar bäst för självsäkra vandrare med stadiga skor. De som anstränger sig belönas med en av de mest ikoniska och hisnande vyerna längs Jurassic Coast.
En höjdpunkt på turen är Lulworth Cove, en fantastisk hästskoformad bukt som bildats under tusentals år av kusterosion. Detta UNESCO-världsarv erbjuder kristallklart vatten, dramatiska kalkstensklippor och charmiga promenadvägar. Du får tid att utforska viken, njuta av utsikten och lära dig om områdets fascinerande geologi och naturhistoria.
En annan höjdpunkt är besöket på Corfe Castle, en dramatisk tusenårig ruin uppe ovanför en historisk by. Slottet är genomsyrat av historia och legender och erbjuder panoramautsikt över den omgivande landsbygden och en inblick i Englands medeltida förflutna. Du har tid att utforska byn, bläddra i lokala butiker eller njuta av en kopp te på en av dess charmiga pubar.
Turen inkluderar ett stopp i Weymouth, en charmig kuststad med en pittoresk hamn och en avslappnad kustatmosfär. Det är det perfekta stället att äta något gott, njuta av traditionella fish and chips eller bara promenera längs kajen och njuta av utsikten över färgglada båtar och historiska byggnader.
Efter lunch stannar vi vid det ikoniska monumentet Olympic Rings på Isle of Portland, som erbjuder en av de bästa panoramautsikterna i regionen. Denna natursköna utsiktspunkt har utsikt över Chesil Beach, Jurassic Coast och Weymouth Bay, vilket ger en perfekt introduktion till områdets dramatiska landskap. Själva monumentet hedrar minnet av seglingsevenemangen vid OS i London 2012, som hölls i närliggande Portland Harbour. Det är en fantastisk fotomöjlighet och en chans att ta in omfattningen och skönheten i Englands enda naturliga världsarv innan du fortsätter din resa längs kusten.
Om tiden tillåter - Du besöker Portland Bill, den sydligaste punkten på Isle of Portland. Denna oländiga udde är hem till den slående rödvita fyren och erbjuder dramatisk utsikt över Engelska kanalen. Det är en fantastisk plats att uppleva Jurassic Coasts vilda skönhet, se vågorna slå mot klipporna och ta några minnesvärda bilder innan du beger dig till din nästa destination.

Our guide was knowledgeable and we enjoyed the experience. I would recommend the experience for anyone wanting to see the beautiful landscape.
We loved every stop on this excursion. Durdle Door is of course classic. Lulworth Cove is scenic. Corfe Castle was really interesting. We ate lunch in the village instead of going inside the castle. The town of Corfe if quaint. We probably would have explored more if it hadn’t rained the whole time. Weymouth was interesting and there are plenty of souvenir shops if you are interested. Finally, the stop at Portland Hights gives you a fantastic view of Portland Harbor and Chesil Beach. Would like to have made it to Portland Bill Lighthouse, but time didn’t allow for that. The guides were informative and we really enjoyed the bus ride through the countryside.
Mariann and Tim were lovely guides. We saw some amazing sights like the durdle door and Corfe castle ruins. The day was smooth running, no waiting around for crowds. Very nice day.
Marianne and Tim were great! Very interesting information. My suggestion to reduce free time because there is nothing really to do after we saw all the interesting places
Great cruise ship excursion. Pick up from the ship across from the gangway. Excellent driver and 2 guides. The commentary was superb. Great friendly guide. We had a very enjoyable day. On time back to the ship.
Awesome experience! Full day of activities. We saw everything from coastlines, to castles, to churches. Loved it.
Our tour guide, Spencer, was very knowledgeable and funny. Views were amazing. Great trip!! Only issue was with the microphone/speaker system. It cut in and out.
Great tour and well worth the money. We had a great time and everything was fantastic. Amazing scenery.
Enjoyed this tour. Fabulous views and very knowledgeable guide. This tour requires ability to navigate some rocky paths and steep hillsides so be prepared for this. Highly recommend
The first 3 places were great: Isle of Portland view, Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. Went had enough time to enjoy those 3 places. All were breathtaking. Went downhill from there. We were told that we couldn't go to Portland Bill because the parking lot was closed. I understand that, but then we spent 2-1/4 hrs in Corfe Castle Town when it was only supposed to be 45 minutes. I went in the castle which was nice and interesting but it only took 40 minutes (if you take your time) and we had to wait the rest of the time. The whole group waited for our guide and bus for about 1/2 hr where it was to pick us up, because there was nothing else to do there. Only restaurants and one store. Then we only had 25 minutes in Weymouth instead of 1 hr as per the itinerary. I couldn't walk to the beach because we were parked on the cove side and it was a 15 minute walk each way. I counted on having about 1/2 hr in Weymouth at the beach and in the shops. I wish we could have enjoyed Weymouth for the extra time instead of wasting it in Corfe. Nothing was open on the cove side so people quickly got back on the bus to get back to our ship. I wish the guide had Stuck To the Itinerary Times! I would recommend this for the scenic Jurassic Coast sites as long as you understand too much time is wasted in Corfe and you lose time in Weymouth. I hope this is addressed by the vendor.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, we truly appreciate it. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the Isle of Portland viewpoint, Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. They really are breathtaking highlights of the Jurassic Coast. With regards to Weymouth, the beach itself is not included as a stop on our itinerary. We set guests down by the historic harbour area, where you can enjoy lunch, grab traditional fish and chips, or take a stroll along the quayside with its colourful boats and period buildings. On your day, several guests expressed an interest in having lunch in Corfe Castle village, which is why slightly more time was spent there before heading to Weymouth. Corfe is a beautiful 1,000-year-old village with lovely lunch options, and we always try to accommodate group preferences where possible while keeping to schedule. We’re sorry you felt rushed in Weymouth and will certainly take your comments on board as we continue refining timings. Thank you again for travelling with us. Jenny
