An Unforgettable Adventure with Goodwoof

Imagine a day filled with breathtaking scenery, wagging tails, and the salty breeze of the open sea. At Goodwoof, we are thrilled to offer our unique Brownsea Island Viewpoint Vistas Walk—a one-of-a-kind experience combining a scenic boat trip and a captivating nature walk on this iconic island.

Why Brownsea Island is So Special

• Exclusive Setting: Accessible only by boat, Brownsea Island feels like a step into another world. Its tranquil paths and stunning viewpoints are an experience to cherish.
• Dog-Friendly Paths: While some areas of the island are reserved for wildlife, the designated dog-friendly trails are perfect for exploring with your furry friend.
• Sweeping Vistas: From the island’s famous viewpoints, soak in panoramic views of Poole Harbour, the Purbeck Hills, and the shimmering English Channel.
  
  

The Day’s Highlights

The Boat Ride: Start the adventure with a short ferry ride from Poole Quay. The gentle rocking of the boat and the fresh sea air will excite dogs and humans alike.
Exploring the Trails: Once on the island, wander through Pine Grove Path, shaded by towering Scots pines. Then, make your way to Castle Viewpoint, where you can admire the historic Brownsea Castle and its picturesque surroundings.
The Perfect Rest Stop: Midway through the walk, relax at the Harbour’s Edge Picnic Area, where dogs can enjoy a break with water and healthy treats.

How to Prepare Your Dog for the Walk

1. Acclimate to the Boat: If your dog hasn’t been on a boat before, a quick introduction to water sounds and movements can help them feel at ease.
2. Pack the Essentials: Bring a harness for the ferry ride, waste bags, and a portable water bowl.
3. Leash Up: Some areas of the island require dogs to be on a leash to protect the wildlife.
4. Brush Up on Commands: With new surroundings and other dogs around, ensure your dog’s recall and leash manners are sharp.
5. Hydration and Comfort: Especially in warmer months, bring enough water and ensure your dog is comfortable throughout the trip.

Client Testimonial

“I couldn’t believe how much Luna enjoyed her adventure on Brownsea Island! The team at Goodwoof took such great care of her—from the boat ride to the trails. They sent me the most adorable photos of her wagging her tail at the viewpoints. When she got home, she was happy, tired, and ready for cuddles. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in such capable hands!”
