The boat was so pretty inside and comfortable. The boat people were very friendly and welcoming. · via Google [Steve T](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109114139149132838767/reviews) ★★★★★ Had a great time onboard the Jungle Queen for my Mum's 85th birthday. 3 hours of sunshine and fun with hosts Dan and Laura.and the fish and chips brought on board by the lovely Sue from Turners Fish and chip shop near Garstang (separate review) were hot and tasty. Thanks guys well deserved 5 stars. Steve · via Google [Daniel Postlethwaite](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108439294882320067618/reviews) ★★★★★ Because they rent these out to anyone and allow massive groups aboard, yesterday 11 November, a large group came down the canal whilst I was kayaking smoking and drinking blasting music, not only disturbing the peacefulness of the canals but the local wildlife too. As I paddled past, one guy, old bald, grey beard, hanging over the boat smoking a cigarette just throws the finished cig into the canal. No wonder the canals are so full of rubbish. · via Google [Rachel Joyner](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103259898455162915094/reviews) ★★★★★ Used LC Cruises a number of times over the last decade for private and group cruises/events including our wedding. Absolutely first-rate service. Extremely accommodating. Highly recommended. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487b6fc727250aa7:0x95919618911091d2!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** 4 Garstang Road, Preston, PR3 0RE [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=53.8510510%2C-2.7468390) **Category** Boat Tours & Cruises **Guest rating** 4.7 / 5 (29 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Destination** Lancaster [More attractions in Lancaster](https://staycation.co.uk/lancaster/attractions) ★ 4.7 (29 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.budgietransport.co.uk?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01524 389410 (option 1)](tel:01524389410(option1%29) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Lancaster **Postcode** PR3 0RE **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C5VV723+C7 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487b6fc727250aa7:0x95919618911091d2!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487b6fc727250aa7:0x95919618911091d2!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487b6fc727250aa7:0x95919618911091d2!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Lancaster Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
