Wells-Next-the-Sea is a charming fishing port on the north Norfolk Coast. From the magnificent sandy beach fringed by fragrant pinewoods and jaunty wooden huts, around the bustling quayside where fishermen unload their catch opposite the finest fish & chips on the coast, to the ‘The Buttlands’, a pretty, leafy green with warm & welcoming inns – Wells is the perfect seaside destination.

What better way to take in the sights and sounds than by boat trip? At Wells Harbour Tours Nick and his friendly team welcome you aboard the ‘Wells Ferry’, built in a boatyard just along the coast. Seeing the harbour from the water gives you a unique seafarer’s perspective. And look out for the Wells Harbour Horse!

On the Beach Trip, you’ll head down the channel to the open water for a fantastic view of the coast and town, hearing about local landmarks and stories. You’ll visit the Outer Harbour, RNLI station and beach, surrounded by the cry of sea birds and sound of the waves. If you’re lucky you might even see a few seals popping up!

The Marsh Trip is a gentle journey through the wilds of Wells Salt Marsh, an environmentally protected nature reserve, home to many important birds and plants. As you pass the whelk sheds, returning to the east end of the Quay, you’ll have a real sense of how human livelihoods are bound together with nature in this uniquely beautiful place.

Most trips last an hour, with flexible options.
