Jetstream Tours is the leading operator for sightseeing tours on the River Thames and Medway. From River Cruisers to adrenaline fuelled Jetboats, we have something for everyone.

Our most popular tour the "MedwayRaid" is a 90 minute experience tour aboard our 530hp Jetboat "Twist".

Great venue with an easy to find location and nearby parking. I visited for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised with the warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. I instantly felt very comfortable. The massage was perfect, just what I needed. The massage therapist was able to assess and give advise on the best treatment and offered a variety of essential oils. I haven't felt so relaxed in such a long time. I highly recommend this place.

Growing in Christ since AD 604. This is England's second oldest cathedral. We are home to the Textus Roffensis, the only existing copy of the first code of English Law. Dating from 604 AD, this is the second-oldest cathedral in England.

Rochester Cathedral is such an interesting place to visit. It is full of history and has lots of information to read and learn about it's past. Even though it is a very popular tourist attraction in the area you ca always find a quiet space to sit and be with your own thoughts. The ladies chapel and the gardens are a favourite place of mine & my husband's to just sit quietly, light a candle and escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The team of volunteers are brilliant, very friend and always happy to help or talk about the cathedrals rich history. There is a great programme of events throughout the year, they are very popular so best to book tickets. The refurbished vaults are very impressive and a great space to have a coffee.

Built in 1087, this castle is one of England's finest and best preserved examples of Norman architecture.

I visited Rochester Castle in both July and August. It really is very imposing, and apparently the tallest castle in the UK. While it is just a shell of its former glory it is really worth the climb to the top just for the spectacular views and the great photo opportunities. You will get your best view and photos of the cathedral from the top of the castle, and great views over the town and the Medway. It is it's a difficult climb though for those who have walking difficulties or anyone with a vestibular disorder as there are a lot of spirals going on. The Castle is equally impressive from the ground a good place just to sit and while a couple of hours away read a book or for children to play. There are toilet facilities and a small kiosk serving teas coffees snacks and ice cream. I was there over bank holiday weekend and it wasn't particularly crowded it was still quiet and peaceful.

Visited last Saturday night. Love the Dj set in the garden, created an amazing atmosphere. The set up inside and out was safe and the team made sure everyone adhering to rules. Love the table service, could get use to that. Brilliant night out will definitely be back

This is a lovely area of Rochester, with paths and river views, views of the Medway and the Castle as a backdrop always very picturesque much better in the summer. There are playthings further along, plus the walkways are ideal and safe for little ones with scooters and bikes.
