Standedge Tunnel Boat trips
The only way to understand why we love our canals and tunnels so much is to take to the water on one of our boat trips.
Join us onboard one of our Standedge Class vessels for an expedition into the tunnel
We will be operating on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the year for you to join one of our Discovery Boat Rides.
Our trips operate at 11am, 12 noon, 1:15pm 2:15pm and 3.30pm. From Friday 1 July, these will change to 10:30am, 11:30am, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm.

Access information
Our trip boats are confined spaces but have some extraordinary features for a boat of its kind!
- A wheelchair lift and ramp is provided ensuring everyone can join us for our short expeditions. Unfortunately due to evacuation limitations further down the tunnel, we are unable to allow wheelchair users on our 'All the way through' trips.
- Guide dogs are permitted onboard.
- The tunnel can provide some interesting sensory inputs to those of us with a sensory impairment, it may be advisable to bring along some ear protection for those who need it.
