Education Destination are experts in planning school trips to the Isle of Wight, taking care of all aspects including accommodation, transport and booking your activities and attractions.
Scroll down to read about our most popular group activities in Ryde.
Ryde is the Isle of Wight's main public transport interchange, where passengers from Wightlink's high-speed catamaran service to Portsmouth and Hovertravel's 8-minute hovercraft flights from Southsea converge at the Island's railhead.
A Regency / Victorian resort in its own right, Ryde has expansive sandy beaches at low tide - so much so that the ferry needs a long pier - the fourth longest and oldest surviving such pier in the UK.
The large and long esaplanade has always been an attraction for tourists, and today features a mini fun-fair, bowling alley, boating lake amongst other seaside favourites.
