Take to the water with a pirate-themed treasure hunt
Lovers of the canal will be delighted to hear that the sell-out successful pirate-themed treasure hunt is back again for 2022, from 15 to 31 October. Book a GoBoat for two hours for up to eight people for the full immersive experience and you’ll be greeted by pirates who will provide a series of clues and riddles to help you find the treasure between Paddington and Camden. Complete your quest and you’ll get your piratey hands on loads of bounty, including free meals, boat trip vouchers and Halloween prizes. Extra special rewards for those wearing their best Halloween costumes. GoBoat welcomes children and (sea) dogs, with life jackets and buoyancy aids provided for free, and a full advance safety briefing. No walking the plank!
GoBoat are also hosting free pumpkin carving sessions this Halloween. You’ll be docked up in the basin, given a set of carving utensils and of course a juicy pumpkin to carve to your hearts content. The best pumpkin will be featured on the official GoBoat instagram. No booking is required for GoBoat’s carving activity, just turn up during their usual opening hours and speak to the team at the multicoloured kiosk.
