Itinerary
Day 1Travel to Bournemouth
Bournemouth
We’ll meet you at one of our designated UK pick-up points, help you board our accessible coach and ensure you’re comfortable for the journey. All our coaches benefit from hydraulic lift or ramp access, and wheelchairs can be safely secured in place, so there’s no need to transfer to a standard seat. Similarly, all our drivers have experience working with Limitless Travellers and understand and respect individual access needs.
On arrival, the Limitless Team will help you check in. Then, you’ll have time to relax, unwind and explore your accessible room, before enjoying a delicious meal in the hotel restaurant. Your Tour Manager will round out the evening with a little entertainment for those not quite ready to hit the hay.
After starting the day with a hearty breakfast at the hotel, we’ll board the coach for the two-minute drive to Bournemouth Oceanarium. Vetted for accessibility by our own team, the oceanarium is home to a spectacular array of marine wildlife, including turtles, penguins, sharks, stingrays and dwarf crocodiles, to name a few. It also features an underwater tunnel and feeding sessions throughout the day.
In the afternoon, you’ll have plenty of time to explore Bournemouth’s award-winning beaches, stroll the promenade and explore the city’s bustling town centre. We also highly recommend the beautiful public gardens, where Bournemouth’s unique microclimate sustains lush, verdant and varied plantlife. The Limitless team will also treat you to a cream tea on the pier.
Day 3Hamble Accessible Boat Trip
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll board the accessible coach and head to Hamble, near Southampton. The village boasts a fascinating WWII history and was home to a major flying school for Spitfire pilots. There, you’ll board a fully accessible powerboat and head out into Southampton Water and the Solent. The adapted vessel guarantees comfort and ensures everyone can have a go at the helm, so prepare to get behind the wheel!
Depending on numbers, the group will split in half, with the first group taking to the water while the other explores the marina, and then swapping. In the afternoon, when both groups are back on dry land, we’ll grab some lunch, often at the local Miller and Carter, before heading back to the hotel.
Day 4Breakfast & Travel Home
Today, your Bournemouth Weekend Break comes to an end. After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll board the accessible coach and depart for our various UK drop-off locations. Relax, reminisce with your fellow Limitless Travellers and take in the views. We’ll ensure you’re comfortable for the return journey and look forward to seeing you on your next Limitless holiday!
