One of the most exciting ways to see ospreys is to take a guided trip aboard the Rutland Belle. We sail to parts of the reservoir where we stand a very good chance of watching ospreys fish, as well as lots of other gems that Rutland Water has to offer including Little Egret, Great Crested Grebe, Red Kite, Buzzard, Common Tern and occasionally Barn Owls and Grey Wagtails.

The cruises depart from Whitwell Harbour for an hour and a half cruise – light refreshments are available on-board served within social distances.

In addition to your cruise place you will also receive a 20% discount on the permit entry price to the nature reserve on the day of the cruise. Nature reserve permits cover the Egleton and Lyndon sites of Rutland Water.

All parking costs at Whitwell are covered by your cruise booking – we will issue tickets on the cruise for use at the exit barrier at Whitwell car park.
