Can anyone recommend me a boat trip in or near London

My youngest DD is 8 soon and loves a boat trip. She’s happy on any boat. Her happiest place is NorfolK Broads wildlife trips- but it’s a bit far for a treat.
We’re North East London, other than the Thames Uber boats can anyone please recommend something?
Thank you!

These are great fun. You would have to drive but that is easy peasy to do I promise.

Canary Wharf or Paddington would be your nearest locations.

If you do a day trip to Oxford or Cambridge you can get punting tours, or river cruises.

Punting in Cambridge would be wonderful, but when I looked pieces were nuts

Horrible histories boat tour is brilliant and perfect for 8 years old.

I'm doing a Thames Rockets trip on Saturday - I can report back if you'd like OP?

Thames Rockets are a LOT of fun! Quite different to the Broads though!

Other end of London, but Richmond to Hampton Court is lovely.

P.s doing your own punting is a nightmare! I thought it would be easy but couldn’t get the knack at all 😂
