Overview

This half-day mini-coach tour lasts about six hours and departs from Bournemouth. It includes a round-trip shared transfer with live commentary from a professional driver-guide. The tour follows a scenic route passing Bournemouth town centre, West Cliff, Sandbanks, and Poole Quay before reaching the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon arrival, passengers are shown the return pickup point at Lulworth Cove car park before being dropped off at Durdle Door. Visitors have three hours of free time to explore both Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove independently. The walk down to Durdle Door Beach is steep and can be challenging. Walking from Durdle Door to Lulworth Cove takes about 25 to 30 minutes over the hill. Lulworth Cove offers pubs, cafes, and tea rooms where visitors can rest and eat. The cove itself and the nearby Lulworth Crumple rock formation at Stair Hole are notable natural features to see. Food and drinks are not included, but the village of West Lulworth provides options for cream teas or fish and chips. The tour operates year-round, with guests advised to dress accordingly for the weather. Pickup and drop-off occur at designated meeting points in Bournemouth, which is well connected by train and coach.
