Enjoy a half lake cruise and Treetop Nets


Enjoy a scenic cruise with a high‑flying woodland adventure. This exciting combined ticket brings together a relaxing Red Cruise on Lake Windermere with a thrilling visit to Treetop Nets Windermere at Brockhole. It’s the perfect way to experience the lake from the water before swapping calm scenery for energetic fun in the treetops.

Your journey begins on our popular Red Cruise, exploring the beautiful northern waters of Windermere. Sit back and enjoy panoramic views of peaceful bays, wooded shores and surrounding fells while listening to engaging live commentary that brings the lake’s history, landmarks and stories to life. Choose to enjoy the full round‑trip cruise, or hop off at Brockhole to begin the next part of your adventure.

Disembark at Brockhole, where it’s a short walk into the woodland to Treetop Nets Windermere. Here you’ll discover a giant network of bouncy nets suspended high among the trees. Explore multiple net areas, dash along walkways, dive through tunnels and zoom down slides in a unique outdoor experience that’s just as fun for grown‑ups as it is for children. When you’re ready, simply rejoin a later Red Cruise and continue your day at your own pace.
