The travel bubble concept


At Boat Bike Tours we make it easy for guests who would like to travel in own their ‘private bubble’. With us it’s not only possible to book your bubble and receive a discount, but you can also adjust a tour to suit your needs or preferences. You might be surprised to learn what great value a charter tour can be!

Safety first
Most importantly, on all our tours, guests can be sure of rigorous additional health and safety measures. And all groups are led by a friendly and experienced tour leader who not only explains local culture and history, but also provides safety guidance.

Why book your own bubble?

 

Travel on your own boat with the people you’re closest to

With our charter options, you create a ‘travel bubble’ by booking a whole ship for your own group of 20 people or more. This means you have the entire boat to yourselves, with no other guests on board. Or, with a group of at least 12 friends, you can create a private bubble on an existing tour.

We know how important it is to have quality time with the people you’re closest to, especially in stressful times. So there are lots of great reasons to create a travel bubble. You could have a family reunion with siblings and their families, go traveling with your cycle buddies, or even celebrate a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary on board.

Customize your charter tour

If you charter a whole boat for your group, you can adapt your tour in many different ways. The classic format is a cycling cruise with one of our existing tour itineraries, but if you prefer you could customize it to suit your needs and preferences. Some examples are:

  • Adjust the cycling routes to be shorter or longer
  • Change the itinerary and route to include sights of special interest
  • Create your own tour theme based on a shared interest of your group, eg: music, WWII or bird watching
  • Travel in ways other than cycling, eg: inline skating, special interest cycling clubs, running

We’ll make sure that your cabin is clean, the next day’s itinerary is ready, and a delicious three-course meal awaits you after each day’s adventures. This means you can focus on the important things, like having fun together.
