Discover the South Coast’s best attractions: go on an excursion or explore at your leisure. If you just want to get away from it all just relax and watch the world go by in our sun lounge. Our convenient location means we offer trips in our accessible vehicles to populate tourist attractions that may include Salisbury Cathedral, Exbury Gardens and the New Forest, as well as trips to enjoy the many attractions of Southampton and Portsmouth.

Optional trip to The Isle of Wight

Known as The Garden Isle and noted for its warm climate, stunning scenery and beautiful coastline, the Isle of Wight promises to be a memorable excursion. The island is packed with things to see and do and we’ll make sure you have all the information you need to make your day as enjoyable as possible.

Some of the best attractions on the Isle of Wight are:

  • Owl & Monkey Haven: The Island’s multi-award winning animal attraction and home to various rescued primates and birds of prey. Watch these wonderful animals relax and play, while enjoying the tranquil environment of the park.
  • Hop on a sightseeing tour which takes you along some of the island’s hotspots including the Osborne House, a former royal residence.
  • Cowes Historic Seafront: Only minutes from the town’s shops, cafes and restaurants you can take in the magnificent sea view, enjoy the beach or have a stroll along the seafront promenade. The area is famous for its chain ferry which links Cowes and East Cowes, the northern-most tip of the Isle of Wight.
  • Carisbrooke Castle: One of the top attractions on the island, the Castle is best known as the place where King Charles I was imprisoned. Take a tour or explore this wonderfully well preserved Castle at your leisure.
  • Ferry ride from Newport to Fishbourne which will take you past the area where the famous Isle of Wight Festival is celebrated each year and through Wotton Creek with its history dating back to the Romans.

Not to mention the many restaurants and cafes if you just want to relax and watch the world go by. On our way back to Netley we’ll be taking the ferry to Portsmouth taking you passed the Naval bases and if lucky we’ll get to see some of the large cruise ships that are arriving or leaving the port.

This excursion is an optional extra and can be booked in advance for a supplement of £30* per person. This trip may not be suitable for all of our guests. A personal risk assessment will be required prior to confirmation. We reserve the right to cancel the excursion in the event of low numbers.
