8 Bournemouth Tours & Activities Worth the Fare

1.Lulworth Cove & Durdle Door Mini-Coach Tour from Bournemouth

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 460 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $41.59Our pick

Half-day Jurassic Coast coach trip from Bournemouth to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove with onboard commentary and 3 hours to explore.

“Great and convenient tour! Really nice to start at durdle door car park so that we missed the massive uphill climb from the Lulworth car park. The walk/climb was fairly easy, path gets a little slippery when wet but not challenging if in reasonable health. For reference I did Seven Sisters and this was a cake walk in comparison. Awesome experience!”
