Take an open-top audio tour safari of the New Forest National Park.
Special audio commentaries tell the stories of the people and places of the New Forest – with characters, sounds and music bringing the view to life. The audio tours offer a bird’s eye view of the landscape and a better chance of spotting the beautiful animals of the New Forest – including deer and rare birds, pigs and donkeys, and of course the famous ponies.
There are three New Forest Bus Tours to choose from (with separate commentaries). They run daily from June to September each year.
Unparalleled success
In 2015, we were asked by New Forest National Park Authority to supply a robust commentary solution after systems from other suppliers had failed to deliver in previous years. The GPS triggered audio tour guide app we built for them plays over the in-built entertainment system on bus fleet. It has proven to be an unparalleled success that continues to run each summer.
We’ve been running audio commentaries on the New Forest Tour for a number of years now. During this time, we have used several different audio systems in an attempt to deliver the best possible visitor experience – but have struggled to find an app that was stable, reliable and easy to use. We started working with AT Creative for the first time during the 2015 Tour season and were really impressed with the team’s help in getting everything up and running and enjoyed a trouble-free Tour season for the first time since we introduced GPS commentary to the Tour. The app enables important and interesting information to be shared at the right time, at the right place and conveyed in the right way along the journey. Dependable and innovative, The team were a great help in overcoming situations which were technically challenging to ourselves, e.g. hardware/software matches. The app meets are requirements so efficiently!

The app isn’t available for public download because it is one of our audio tour apps designed for vehicular tours that aren’t available on the app stores.
You’ll need to head to the New Forest and pay for a ride to hear the audio commentary! Each year we update the three tours to keep them fresh and better than the year before.
