About the event

Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust have partnered with Lee and Stort Boat Co Ltd to offer a unique sunset bat cruise on the River Lea.

Settle in for a 90 minute cruise on board this comfortable boat, equipped with toilet facilities and a fully stocked refreshments bar.

Learn about the fascinating life of bats from Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust's bat expert. Spot pipistrelle bats hunting along the tree line, and Daubenton's bat swooping over the water hunting their prey as the sun sets. As it gets darker we will then be using bat detectors to hear them hunt using echo location.

Bring a blanket and wrap up warm to experience bats as close as we can - we will have the windows open as we cruise along. Complimentary tea and coffee will be served onboard to keep you warm.

Not suitable for younger children.
