THE BOAT TRIP
Boat trips begin in the basin outside The Falkirk Wheel Visitor Centre, by boarding one of the specially designed boats. The journey starts by sailing into the bottom gondola of The Wheel, which then makes a graceful sweep, lifting the boat up to join the Union Canal 35m above. The ascent takes approximately 15 minutes, allowing plenty of time to enjoy the stunning views of the spectacular surrounding scenery.
Once lifted, the boat sails smoothly from The Wheel onto the Union Canal. This passes along the aqueduct, through the 180 metre Roughcastle Tunnel and under the historic - World Heritage site - Antonine Wall. The boat will then return for an effortless descent that gently carries the boat down over the Visitor Centre, and safely back into the basin by the boardwalk.
Private boat trips are available and perfect for that special occasion! Prices start from £300. To find out more and discuss your requirements, call us on 08700 500 208.
